I’ve had my eye on the 5.25-21 for a while… not too crazy bout the 4.50-21 tread pattern. Have to believe they are just as good as the 30”x3-1/2” tires, really happy with em

I've had them on my Tudor for a few years now. They seem better quality than the Exelsiors I had previously.

Did they mount easily? I’ve got a set I’m having a little trouble with.

Yes, very easy with a rim spreader. I put a few photos of the process here:

I bought my Blockleys two at a time. That kept the cost per shipment under the tax threshold so I paid no import tax and had no import forms to fill out. I didn't buy the second pair until after I had received the first pair, so there was no chance of the two orders getting combined into a taxable shipment.
The inevitable often happens.
