Universal T-Driver | 30x3.5

Post by Will » Wed Mar 20, 2024 5:55 pm

I was told by Coker that the Universal T-Driver | 30x3.5 wont be in until late May, It seems that about the same story for the rest of the 30-3-1/2 T tires.
As Tom Sellick told Marston in the movie Quigley Down Under, I told you I dont have much use for handguns, I never said I didn't know how to use them!

I haven't heard of a supply problem with Blockleys. Easy, painless ordering/delivery for a superior product. Get their tubes too. They hold air!

You might try Summit Racing- they carry quite a few of Coker's vintage tires. and you get free shipping f your order is over $100.

Here are the eBay listings:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/176205423985?i ... BM3NfBkcxj

The first listing is for a single tire, the second is for a pair. If you need a set of four, contact the seller to see if he has four and what his price would be. I have no connection to the seller or the listings. :)

Yes. If you decide to go with quality, buy them one or two at a time to avoid import taxes. After you receive the first shipment, order the next (and the next if you need more than four). This assures that you won't receive more than two at a time, losing your tax advantage. If you think shipping will take a long time, you're in for a pleasant surprise.

Thanks Steve, I checked out the site. I really like the tread design. I asked for a quote for 1 tire and see how it goes. If need be like you said, I can just order one at a time. I'm going to need some new tube also as yesterday I ruined two trying to install into my old tires. Put in one of the older tubes and it exploded. It was so loud that my neabour came out to see what happened. I had just got to 55psi when it let go
