Nobbles?

Post by Vanny »

What sort of tyre are used for rally/fast off road driving? More importantly can you get nobbly tyres that will go small enough to fit a BX?

I'm thinking both thick gloopy mud and friction free dusty surfaces!



and combining with a T16 4x4 BX

Yes no problem.

Just use the good old net and have a look at some Colway remoulds.
They still make loads of different patterns nad I suspect Firestone still make Town and Country nad I even got them in 12" for my imp 8)

gravel spec rally tyres would do it matey! normally if you have a look in the back of motorsport news you can pick up used gravel tyres for resonable coin!
but as luke said colway are a good bet!

I see what you mean, theres quite a few complete sets on ebay at the moment for peanuts (relatively speaking), gives more hope to actually getting a BX off road!

Decided to take mine for a bit of a jaunt round the fields at the farm today, made it on the exalto's but god only knows how, in retrospect having walked around the same 'course' that i drove, there is no way i should have got at teh way through. One section was submerged way past the top of the grass and didn't look deep but it certainly was! Oh, car needs a wash now too!

Might think about some toy tyres for christmas!
