Some pics received from JBW today ..

Time will tell how good they are but you can't beat JB Wheels service .. called them as 12.15 yesterday and they arrived this morning at 10.00.

They look great, I have to say.

They do look rather good

I think they look great. The massive Blockley branding kills it for me on theirs, this looks better.

Are JBW the only suppliers?
D

They are the only ones I found when searching but whether they are sole suppliers I couldn’t say.

Been using them on most of my Minis for few years now! Looks great and drives good!

That's great to hear your experiences with these tyres Ted

You're eyesight must be far better than mine if you can even see the Blockley script from more than a few inches away

Fair comment D

Are you using LP883’s Andrew?

No LP882's Dave.

I wold like to see them in the rubber/metal on some '883's as 9748KO really needs a new set of tyres. I've never been keen with 145's on wider rims, thinking 165's are nicer.

Yes I agree 165’s would be nice, I’m trying to keep the tyres inside the front arches of the new moke so I’m hoping 145’s will work..I’m not a big fan of 882’s..Still thinking!
Has anyone else ran Yokohama 145’s on 883’s?
D

I'm only running HOY on 882's as it had them when new and I got a superb set of five about three years ago for £150 BIN on eBay

Cheap as chips, I probably should be running them..

Yokohama 145’s Fitted to LP883’s, 165s would probably look slightly better but 145’s will keep the tyre within the arch..

Dave, that is another super quick restoration .. that Moke will be finished by Tea Time
