Blockley tyres – where are they made?

[decampos]

I like the look of their radial range and I noticed that they were used on a mega-rare priceless 60s Ferrari featured in Classic Cars magazine a month or so ago.

The chap from vintage tyres mentioned in passing they were made in the Far East. Anyone know for sure? I can't find any mention of it on their website.
Thanks.

Hi Roy C. Thanks for that. I did see that. It was in fact someone from Vintage Tyre that told me they're Far Eastern. I was wondering if anyone could confirm that.

Also, where abouts in the Far East?

Crikey. That was a bit defensive. Where was the provocation for that? Is this what everyone's like around here?

Blockley tyres had a stand at the NEC so I was able to inspect their tyres up close. To answer my own question: they're made in Indonesia. Doesn't bother me, I was just curious. The chap there confirmed that they are indeed planning on introducing a 14 inch radial tyre by mid 2014 (and a 13 inch among others). That'll be the time that my Merc R107 will be due for some new shoes and I will almost certainly be buying Blockleys as they really do look absolutely terrific and perfect for an old car.
