$um Fun Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Have you tried Lucas tires? I think they are dealers for the Blockley tires, they have the old Grand Prix tread pattern. https://www.lucasclassictires.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicolas Macan Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 5 hours ago, Ben P. said: Alright, my memory was way off on the shipping cost - my receipt shows it came to $314.32US. Much less than I had feared but that is of course more than domestic shipping. It was shipped DHL, and as mentioned, the tires were on my doorstep 5 days after placing the order. I’d still suggest shopping Blockley’s direct order pricing. Maybe he would explain the Lucas situation, not that I am questioning the relationship, but my understanding is Blockley has no US distributor but perhaps that was just for the newly introduced clincher type. i very good option blockley´s!!!! I asked Lucas if they have the dunlop R1 and do not bring it to the United States. thanks fo all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Carl Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Blockleys on a (Speed Six) Bentley. - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C Carl Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I should probably mention that this Bentley is frequently driven very fast. So speed rated is critical. I know that high speed driving is seriously punished in Chile. (I once manipulated the police into letting me go free from a speeding infraction, but that was the last time I ever drove over the speed limit in Chile. Mucho miedo. Ya se Como es la cosa). BUT : speed rated is a much more robust tire. From many years and many thousands of miles of driving in Mexico, Central and South America, I know, and you certainly do know, how important the best quality tires are. I always advise adventure drivers visiting there to pay close attention to the tires on their rented vehicle. MAKE SURE TO VERIFY THAT THE SPARE TIRE ACTUALLY FITS THE CAR !! (Oh, ask me some time how and where I learned that trick in Chile). And while you are at it, good practice to buy a second used spare tire and wheel to carry. Buen viaje, - Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buen viaje, - Carl Jeje right! we have good private highways and the police are unforgiving !!! but in my case the rallies that we organize will be on rough dirt roads !! where endurance is paramount and speed is not that important! (Patagonia, Pacific Ocean, Atacama Desert) the tire that you indicate of that bentley is spectacular! Thanks for your post! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
