400/450 Longstone Tires

[BUD SILVERS]

Good evening all;

 

I have been out of touch for some time. Last Fall there was some discussion about tires. I need a set for my TC. Since the weather is improving and I am finding many projects behind me done I have been looking at tires.

 

Does anyone have an experience with the 44/450 Longstone tires. What I am considering is the one that looks like Blockley racing tires.

 

Let me know what you all think!

PS: Anyone interested in a trip up Pikes Peak this Summer? Mount Evans is only a few hours north of Pikes Peak. Maybe two 14ers in one day?

Hi BudI fitted a set of Longstone 400/450 "blockley style" tyres on the TB in 2016, at first I wasn't happy I didn't feel they had the grip that the Dunlop B5s had, but after about 500 miles they seemed to have bedded in and were great. I am very happy and would certainly recommend them.RegardsMike [b]MG TB80 the 80th anniversary Event for MG TB Owners 1939-2019[/b]
