My old Dunlop RSs fitted to my HJM MkVI are nearly ready to be consigned to history. I know there was an extensive thread regarding tyres and the suitability of, a while ago, however I don't think anyone had any experience of Blockleys at the time.Has anybody used them and are there any complimentary or adverse comments that any members of the forum can offer before I sway towards the Avon option. I have to add that I do not really favour radials as they will not have the correct aesthetic appearance. Thanks gentlemen .

I can't give any first hand advice on these tyres (although I am very pleased my Blockleys on the 3ltr), but I note on the Blockley web site that they offer a refund if you are not happy with tyres.
May I suggest you speak with them, the tyres were developed for sporting cars of the era, they may be unsuitable for the Bentley, as its quite heavy.

Thank you John I will certainly do that . I was attracted by their terms of service too. The tread depth may cause some extra road noise but I will report back .

I notice in a photo of Peter Boxer's Mk VI that he has the Blockley tyres fitted, I'm sure he would give you excellent considered advice.
