Your road rally tyres will depend on the route and what the msa regs say. Down ere in the westcountry we use a few unsurfaced roads as well, and many use m&s type tyres if its been a wet week! If I remember rightly the blue book limits tyre choice for road events a bit.

[rallyesport04]

i think i can use any road legal tyre all of the roads used are tarmac no loose but they can be dirty an greasey from tractors etc im going to marshal on one or two an see what others are using not really fussed about doing well its just a laugh i really want more grip tho it spins up to easy on good clean roads i would rather bring it home in one bit than bend it to win

they will send you down white`s which can be any sort of surface if at all , across fields , down forestry track, around farm yards, pick your events with care! What engine are you running ?

[Andy44Boz]

If you have the right navigator it won't matter what tyres you run

ive brought you a book to read

[gearbox100]

Beleave you will have to run standard induction then if you are not already .

Road rallys use coloured roads only, no whites are supposed to be used, best thing to do is to register on the British rally forum and get the opinions from people running similar cars

standard induction

 

.....at the moment

[livewire7116]

pinto on split 48s is ok as long as you can get thru noise test!

it seems rules vary with car specs for 12 car rallies i know i cant enter enduro rallys as its a stage rally car an i cant be arsed to fit seats carpet etc but i think i can enter our local club with my car as it is even with the jenveys i plan to fit if i cant do any 12 car rallies ill just stick to stage rallying i really cannot be bothered to go backwards with the car
