Blockley have been working on producing a new 145x10 tyre for some time. A member of another forum in the UK has taken delivery of a set and provided initial positive feedback today.

Or maybe Minisport SA could add them to their range. http://acww.com.au/html/ncontact.html |

Very reminiscent of the Dunlop SP3... https://www.flickr.com/photos/50415738@N04/5435779766 |

I've seen the listed on the Stuckey website and sent them an enquiry - they do look very nice! https://www.stuckey.com.au/Tyres/Classi ... 71/CatID/4 Attachment: 01.jpg They have also released a 165 version of the tyres and in the UK they are the same price Attachment: 01-2.jpg A couple of photos from the UK http://mk1-forum.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=26357&start=20 Attachment: image1.jpeg Attachment: image0.jpeg And strangely enough another 145 tyre has been announced from Yokohama: http://mk1-forum.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=27575 Attachment: image0-2.jpeg Attachment: image2.jpeg

Yes, that was the first thing I mentioned the other day. It’s listed on the Stuckey site but they haven’t responded to my quote request yet |

Not cheap... Falken made a good 145-10 but maybe these are NLA now? My boat trailer runs a pair. Old but good. |

While looking at Stuckey's website I noticed Vredestein have a 145x10 tyre. https://www.stuckey.com.au/Tyres/TyreSearch/ProdID/69 |

Falken still make the 145 R10 but they aren't the grippiest tyre around and they don't look like "period" tyres. The Blockley has a classic look, but they were supposed to also offer a decent amount of grip and were pretty cheap in the UK (£63.00 + vat). |
