White wall tyres
White wall tyres
I really like the look of the car in the current top banner with the wire Wheels and the tyres with a thin White wall. Are there any decent White wall tyres available? I have been looking at Blockley but they are not available as White wall. The dimension i'm looking for is 205/70R15.
Re: White wall tyres
search for "White Wall" Tyre Inserts by AutoRunner.
this may helps to make you independent and you can choose the best tire for you.

Colin Newbold had these fitted when he sold one of his previous cars back in 2010. Not as frequently on this forum as he used to be, but perhaps you could PM him for an answer or he might see your post and reply.
Cheers, Clive.

Look for "Maxxis tyres", they have them in the correct dimension.

Re: White wall tyres
I have seen the Inserts by AutoRunner. but i think those are too wide. The Vredestein seems to be discontinued. So that leaves me with the Maxxis which I doubt can be compared with the Blockley if you compare performance.
Re: White wall tyres
There are many other suppliers in the US, even Toyo, Nexen, Hankook, which are not bad with what they supply in Europe, but white wall is mostly for the US market with lower speed index and different design criteria. I don`t know of any good sports tyre with white wall.

Re: White wall tyres
Note to Clive...That's not me in the picture! Close but not the same! You're right though, I did have white walls once upon a time...Cooper was the brand (US) And they were pretty US too. Pretty... and US is about all I can say for the ride quality and handling.
Word of warning...stay away from inserts...they don't stay inserted and can distort very easily...and painted tyres last one run if you're lucky.

Re: White wall tyres
Hi Colin. I realise that isn't you in the picture, but I thought that it was your old black/silver car after you resprayed it and sold it on.
Hope all is well with you and Nikki.
