~Wanted~  Used 15" Gravel Tires
05/31/7 at 07:11:44
 
Hello Everyone,

I am looking to pick up a set of used gravel Rally tires.

Would be nice to get something with a good amount of tread remaining. Something that would last me for the Rally X season.

Also If you have used rims i would love to hear from you.

My car is 2000 Ford Focus.
Bolt Pattern 4 x 108  ( i need an offset of +40mm -  +35mm)

Kind Regards
Jonathan

205/65/15's will work.
But because i'll be running Steel rims and they arent very wide, i was hoping for 195/65's,  but 205's are good too.

How much are you looking to get for the set of 4?
Please email me to discuss.

Rally Cross tires.

Couple things to consider when buying gravel tires.

Temperature that you will be using the tires in.

Track surface, hard pack, loose, sand, mud etc....

Power train configuration  FWD, RWD or AWD.

Tire size and width of the tire as well, will effect gearing, and can also also stress the drivetrain. If the tire  has the same daimeter, but it is too wide for an under powered car, then you will not have accelleration.  For a certain course/rally  a wide(r) tire is desired, as you wil not get into the ruts as easily.

Power and torque of the car.

If the car is equiped with limited slip differential(s)

Suspension travel, ground clearance.

And also how the car is prepped, stock or a rally car.

If it is  just a rally X car, it might be an auto, that will also change your tire choice.

And as always, your budget.

Feel free to email me about your tire questions.

Thanks
