Excellent news - let's hope it materialises. I'd take 5.

I have just had an email from Julian at Blockley Tyres. He says

"Thanks for the email. The 145x10 size is in hand and at the mould making stage, so something will happen in 2017!"

Sounds Great news to me.

Do we know if there is any update?

I spoke to him at the NEC a few weeks ago and he said he would have some made later in the year. By all accounts the moulds are just finished.

Thats great news! If the moulds are made, then it WILL happen.

Phoned them today as I will be in the market for some new tyres soon. They said they are working on them but are unlikely to be ready for another year or so.....
need a plan B!

I have just had to buy a set of 5 Dunlop 145/10 Aquajets.

I don't like them but they are the only recognised option available.

Does anyone have an update about the date a Blockley 145/10 might be available? I'd take a set of five today if they were on sale.

I have a track day in a few weeks and can't really use the 1980s G800s any more. I may have to go with new Dunlop Aquajet items - but costly!

Thanks.

6 to 9 months away yet

And the price will be £80-£90 each judging by the prices for other tyres in the range.

I chased on the 10inch tyres today but bit off topic asked also if they can look at 155HR13's for my Elan Sprint as best selection is Michelin XAS AT £180-£200 a corner

I was just looking at Michelins for my dad's E-type. Almost GBP400 each

Don't Blockley already offer something in that size?

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.
