The Roadriders are slightly smaller than Blockleys, so don't fill the mudguard as well, but it more than makes up for that with the hendling! Plus, I run my car with out mudguards unless I know it going to be very bad weather on a long trip.

How durable are they for road use compared to Blockleys?

seem very good so far, and I've also raced in them too.

Any chance you can check the actual tire size you're using? I'm trying to figure out the rough equivalent but I'd rather go with something that I'm sure will work. I'm looking for more grip for track use so I want to try out the Roadriders in the size you're running. Thanks!

Is that within the rules, thought mudguards were required in UK, the tyres must be covered? That's why cars with widened track have wheel arches extended or spats fitted.

They are, but as with so many aspects of our cars, some rules can be squeezed a little. I run black/silver plates with a 1952-issue reg and to most observers the car looks 70 years old I suspect. Running without mudguards I think is OK for pre-war cars - and some US-based RatRods certainly run around with open wheels - but I personally wouldn't use my car like that on the road all the time, as it's bound to be spotted by most Traffic Feds and also covers you in sh1t when the roads get grubby!

That would be excellent, thanks! I have another track day in a month or so and I'm dying for more grip out there.
