This Blockley 185/70 VR 15 is a modern designed steel belted Radial tyre, with an excellent V speed rating (149mph) and period correct tread pattern, designed in house.  These Blockley 185/70R15 tyres are E Marked and DOT marked (for use in the USA).
185/70R15 size is a wider version of a full size 165R15 .
We incorporated a kerbing strip on this tyre because this 185/70x15 is a popular fitment for a Porsche 911, running Fuchs alloy wheels. Alloy wheels prior to 1968 are not tubless type, so please check whether you should also need inner tubes.
 
This is a truly impressive tyre in both wet and dry conditions, and its construction with twin steel belts means that the handling is still superb even when your engine is cantilevered over the back of your chassis as on a Porsche 911 ! And this tread pattern is what teh 911 left teh factory with. You will be impressed.
Every one of these tyres is inspected and checked for dynamic balance - The small painted yellow circle on the side wall can be aligned with the valve stem by the tyre fitter so they know the optimum place to put it. We perform this additional inspection process as we are determined to supply the best possible no-compromise product. 
 
Typical fitted to:

The oil present in new tyres can cause the stripe to intially discolour this process usually continues until the tyre has completed 2500-3000 miles.  To help you combat this it is strongly recommended that you use our whitewall cleaner that can be purchased from our store
