Yes, you can have tubes inside tubeless tyres. I would ask your tire retailer about sizing recommendations and availability.

Best regards,

A FULL RANGE OF BLOCKLEY SUPERIOUR TUBES AND RIM BANDS ARE AVAILABLE

FOR ROAD AND RACE


Further sizes are planned dependent on demand.


Inner Tubes and Rim Bands and why we insist on "Blockley Superior Tubes"

Any tyres running on wire wheels must be fitted with a good quality rim band and inner tube. Blockley tyres will be fitted with 'Blockley Superior Tubes' inner tubes . Vehicles capable of speeds in excess of 100 mph should be fitted with racing tubes. We believe there is no better race tube manufactured other than "Blockley Superior Tubes".

I have had to stop supplying one well known tyre outlet for, among many reasons, finding out they were fitting tubes other than the "Blockley Superior Tubes" brand to my tyres, against my wishes.

A few years ago an enthusiast many of us know had a dreadful accident in his newly rebuilt 166 Ferrari on the road not far from where I live. His car was badly damaged and he was lucky not to be killed. His car had been fitted with newly built Borrani style alloy rimmed wheels which on further investigation turned out to be smaller in circumference (by a few mm) than the recognised tolerences this may have part caused a rotation of the tyre on the rim causing the puncture. The spokes had been cropped and ground and on investigation had left sharp edges. The multi use tubes supplied by the specialist tyre outlet marked for the size turned out not to be wholly compatible with the tyres due to the thickness of the tubes once inflated. After a £10,000.00 investigation it was concluded that the puncture occured due to a combination of reasons.

I started the Blockley Tyre Co. Ltd. because the enjoyment of some great cars are spoilt by the tyres that are available, not because of desperation to make money (the tyre business is all about making margins) and I want to be able to sleep at night knowing that the product is as good as can be made with no shortcuts. This is why I specify "Blockley Superior Tubes" tubes and rim bands, which are hardly expensive in any case and are one of the most important component fitted to a car.

Apart from buying direct, I now have one UK outlet (MWS) who will also provide service at race meetings - MWS would refuse to sell the wrong tyre just to take your money. My tyres are not available from any other tyre outlet in the UK, even though Longstone Tyres and Vintage Tyre Supplies claim to supply all makes of tyres!
