Introduction of a new 145/10 tyre

[kit of bits]

The prototype 145 tyre on display at Stoneleigh Restoration show today.
They should be available by the end of the year.
S speed rating and E marked.

Nick did you notice if the Blockleys were heavy?
On some of other sizes they weigh a ton..

I'd say they are slightly heavier than an Aquajet, however they're a deep tread.
They're a steel belted radial and the compound feels quite soft but I'm assured durable.

Here's a couple of photos....

Still to be confirmed but certainly less than an Aquajet

[Pete]

They look really good!

That's good to hear.

By the time I need some for HOY, you guys will have done some real time testing

Very like the old SP3

Will we see a price war between these and the stuff from Dunlop?

Anyone got an email / contact details / address for these tyre people. I want to order a set, cash up front now.

Google is your friend: http://www.blockleytyre.com/

As they haven't released a price yet you might have to wait patiently though.

Just spoke to Julian Majzub at Blockley. It seems that these people are the rubber technology specialist people that the spares suppliers ought to be looking towards when ordering rubber replacement parts. I'm ordering some heavy duty XXL condoms too

Although the tyre will be tubeless, they're also introducing a quality Butyl 10" inner tube so widens the application to tube type rims.
Having experienced a high speed motorway blow out with a failed tube in a mini tyre this is also very good news !

Me too..

Took a look at these yesterday at the NEC, very nice...the fact they are steel banded is a plus for me (not sure the aquajets are), they seemed to have a lot of mini interest...

£75 ea in the Jan 2019 price list and they are on their way

165 available at the same price..

[timcee]

Are they available now? Has anyone tried them out?

Good news re price. They will be a keen competition for the Aquajets if they perform well.

Thanks.

[snoopy64]
