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

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

my brother in law is running my old dunlop forrest tyres on his westy. at 20mph it sounds like a bomber is landing on you. after a long motorway drive the tread is so sft you can remould it with your fingers.......

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
