Has anyone tried Blockley tyres on the XJS?
With the recent talk regarding tyres in the forum, I had the slightly curveball thought of Blockley tyres.
I am aware of Blockleys because of my interest in Vintage (20s) cars. Proper performance tyres for old cars (Bugatti, Bentley, etc) have always been a problem, and from all accounts Blockleys have taken that market by storm - it is worth a visit to the website to read the interesting story.
Anyway, they are moving into performance tyres for newer cars - see the sizes
Blockley Tyre - Vintage Racing Tyres (scroll to bottom of page for post-war sizes..)
it occurred to me they may suit 15" XJS wheels , and the price didn't seem too bad to me, for a very high quality tyre.
Check it out!
