895x135 beaded edge / clincher tyre produced by Blockley. This superb tyre with robust construction can be used with total confidence. We built this 895x135 tyre only because we were not impressed with the other brands of beaded edge tyres available from the classic tyre wholesalers. These authentic 895x135 Blockley tyres are made using brand new tooling, to a build quality unlike anything else available, to the correct dimensions the 895x135 size was in period.

This 895x135 tyre size was used on many of the larger and heavier cars, such as the earlier Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, Hispano Suiza H6 and so on, with these beaded edge / Clincher construction tyres being listed on new cars in Europe until 1928.

Note that you will see our Blockley 895x135 tyre listed on wholesaler Classic tyre sites elsewhere, which we do not deal with, listing our 895x135 Blockley tyres often at inflated prices, presumably trying to make other brands they sell look more reasonably priced- so beware! What may appear to be the low price of our high quality 895x135 Blockley tyre (and the rest of our large range) is possible is because we sell direct to the end user / restoration shops, which avoids the Classic tyre wholesaler dealer mark ups.

There is no reason for a Rolls Royce Silver Ghost, or any other car, that left the factory on beaded edge tyres to be fitted with the later straight sided wheels, now that the  895x135 Blockley has become available. Cars that have reverted back to the Beaded Edge / Clincher system using our Blockley tyres have experienced vastly improved driving pleasure (lighter steering that the cars were designed around) with a far more authentic and pleasing look. But the recommendations from the various Classic tyre wholesaler "experts" is that Beaded Edge tyres should be avoided if you want to use your car, and recommend that later wheels/tyres should be used instead - something we disagree with. But for those that want to Blockley produces the alternative 33x5 straight side tyre size (which was the direct replacement for the 895x135 when it was first made). But the wholesalers advice must be based on what they are selling, which I would argue are made more with profit in mind rather than anything else.  Our Blockley range of beaded edge tyres is produced only because we needed something of quality, initially for our own use, and a wholesome alternative to what else there is being supplied. There is no reason we can see why anybody would want to fit anything else available over these Blockley 895x135, unless they did not know about Blockley . . .

Customers should also fit Blockley inner tubes with their tyres, because we are the only manufacturer (and supplier) of correct fitting "Blockley Superior" tubes, whereas the Classic Wholesaler suppliers will sell you a multi sizes tube which they say fits well in a number of beaded edge sizes! Presumably that is okay because of the brand name like Michelin! Fitting the wrong sized tube (even if one of the listed sizes includes the tyre size) in a beaded edge tyre is not the recipe for trouble free motoring, and is a waste of time, effort and expenditure!

As mentioned, for those who wish to continue with the later Straight Sided equivalent of the 895x135 size, we also produce the 33 x 5 size which has an authentic period tread pattern (with the help of Rolls Royce Historian John Fasal), click here to view. Again, a product that is head and shoulders above the alternative Coker Goodrich Silvertown and the like. And remember that our lower prices are only because we sell direct without the margins added by the tyre "specialists".

These correct period dimensioned 895x135 Blockley tyres allow you to experience the light steering that the cars were designed for, and the overall great look of the cars, without the trauma of continual breakdowns and other aggravation normally associated with beaded edge tyres available since things like Waymaster and other horrors were introduced, which is why so many who use their cars have already converted away from using beaded edge tyres on their cars. These 895x135 Blockley tyres are the best beaded edge tyres ever produced, not only because they are produced to period specifications, but also by using improved materials that were unavailable at the time.

Note that since Blockley made its range of beaded edge (or Clincher as they are called in the USA), all other brands of beaded edge being sold by the "Classic" tyre wholesaler / resellers have been slashed in price! We only sell our Blockley tyres direct to the end user or garages / restoration companies and not via these middle men, which is how we can supply the best product ever made at half the price of even what the Dunlop beaded edge used to be (before Fort Dunlop was shut down).

And don't forget to use the correct 895x135 Blockley thicker butyl inner tubes with the tyres, which are unlike anything else available, otherwise there would be little reason to make them. You can buy multi size marked Michelin tubes (made for too many sizes of tyres) or even multi sized "Combo" tubes, but there is nothing available anywhere like the Blockley inner tubes we produce. Our 895x135 inner tube was made for the 895x135 tyre, and that tyre only.  If you want trouble free motoring, then you should fit the perfect product!
