I know we have a thread elsewhere on these, but after using a set of the 1657010 prototypes back in April on 6 EMO running as course car I decided to use them last week on the RAC.
Well, we have had every road condition imaginable , wet, dry, icy, snow, mud and gravel, broken concrete and everything in between! All our competitors run modern pattern rally tyres whereas in ten inch there is nothing. We didn't have a single puncture and they proved a good all round tyre. I can't think of a better advert, so if you were wondering if they are all right..

I'll definitely be fitting these when the time comes, there is something very wholesome about the way they have steadfastly stuck to the job and great thing for us users

I think Blockleys are going to wonder why they'd not done this earlier!

Anyone know if they will be available in the US of A? We are in the same boat as you guys in regard to 145-10 availability.

Good thought Chris and good for UK exports. Why not give Blockley an Email

I checked out their website and they ship globally on a daily basis. Looks like it is time to order some tires.
Wonderful to have another option for our Minis in regard to tyres. We have only a few types available here in the States in regards to 145 size.

Just been perusing the exciting new Blue Book, as you do...
The Blockleys are on List 1A for 2020, so could be a handy alternative to 008s for anyone restricted to 1A.
