Tyres....Radial, bias-ply or cross-ply?

[Peter Johnson]

FWIW, I run blockleys on my fabric saloon and on the cup model and I think that they are great. I use the cup model for VSCC hill climbs and sprints. They are very different to the Avon sidecar tyres that were on the saloon previously and improve the handling no end although the steering is ever so slightly heavier than the Avons.

The longstones do appear to have more tread depth, but it takes me so long to wear tyres out, it didn’t factor into the decision.
