Just a thought .. Crossply or Radial Blockley ?

SP3s are a radial.

Id buy a couple of sets .

NICE

nice indeed, I will go for two sets

I'd go for a set to replace my current ditchfinders.

I'd like 5 to start with - if produced.

SP3 first tyres I ever bought for my first mini.
Also I believe used on the monte cars.

I would have a set of 5 if the make it to production.

Id also take a set of 5

YES! Absolutely, count me in for a couple of sets per year.

I'm not a fan of the Yokos and other tires that seem to be available lately..

Would be interested as well - what about 165/10 as well ??

I'd be after a set or two at some point!

I would be interested too.

I'd take a set too

Another set of 5 would find a home with me

In answer to some of the questions raised, here's the feedback from Blockley's:

1.The compound is suitable for road and competition use. They quoted that a car shod with a 165VR15 version of the tyres won the Pirelli Challenge a couple of years back up against cars shod with Avon CR6ZZ race tyres. So they handle and grip well in the wet or dry and look right too.
2.Wear rate is very good, the tyres from the winning car above were still in good condition after the event.
3.They ship worldwide
4.A 165 tyre would be possible.

That's the good news, on the downside though, I could not get any sort of commitment on if/when they will do it and what the price would be.

The way forward ? well, I think we still need to demonstrate that there would be enough demand to justify a run.

With that in mind I think Marks idea of e-mailing them direct would be a good idea.

So if you have a keen interest, drop them an e-mail on: info@blockleytyre.com

Cheers

I have mailed them direct, but didn't receive a reply.

Now, what we need is a 185/50-12 semislick tyre. Don't mind this 10" stuff!

Hi Nick
Is there any update on the likelyhood of a 145/10 Blockley?
Thanks
