Seen them used on rally prepped subarus a while back, I think they were more of a gravel tyre but my memory for such things fails me now.
I don't reckon they're that cheap for what they are to be honest and I'm not liking that offset.... I'll stick with what I've got for now
What a long strange trip it's been

Those tyres are a forest rally tyre and could be from the ill fated Colway remould company that moved to Poland

haha my 110 was the same - had BFG MTs on it and it sounded like a Lancaster was flying 100m overhead!! TThey were the opposite - they were so hard you could drift it on roundabouts
