Hi Leo

£149 + Vat + Delivery

I can get Pirelli P600 on ebay for around that figure, so personally I would rather stick with what I know.

Any thoughts on that yourself?

I've never heard of Blockly. But What a name for a tire manufacturer! Good thing the founders name wasn't Mr Wobbler!

I was thinking exactly the same myself.

I thought pirellis were megamoney, i havent researched much on the subject but i saw the ad in a classic car mag and thought they sounded quite cheap for the 15 inchers.

also they are V rated and i can remember seeing the brandname on those repro SS convertibles you see at shows occasionally. Didnt realise you could get pirellis at the same price. ive got wall cracks on one of mine and thought getting two of the same type would be advisable. But i dont drive like a loon (even though i have just done my speed awareness course, tut tut naughty boy)
