Yep, and if you want stiffer tread then spray 303 protectant on the tread and it will make the tread more durable.

I've seen stiff winter compounds hold up really well during rallycross events. They will definitely get you by on a budget. That said I've been fortunate enough to find Rally clubs in my area selling used take-offs from their stage cars for a fraction of the price of a brand new set. Might be worth checking out if there are any ARA or SCCA events in your area.

I think the winters will perform well, but There’s got to be a better chunkier tire, I’d be concerned about the snow tires handling the abuse with the heat. Some kind m&s tire maybe?

@@robertt9342 Winter tires use a more pliable rubber and will wear down more quickly when warm, but do grip well on loose surfaces. The wear is less concerning on dirt. It's pretty common for a budget rally solution.

How a caliper and the wheel's drop center both fit in the 1.6 inches between rotor and tire bead radius, I have no idea, but nice! Now that you're actually letting yourself enjoy it, please electrically disconnect your airbag control module, metal boxy thing between the shifter and the parking brake ripper. You'll have a warning light, but you won't have an explosion in your face. Also keep in mind that if you lose fuel supply right after a little impact/landing, your inertia switch(top center of the screen at 12:34) can be reset by pushing in it's inverted nipple top. Glad to see you behind the wheel of one of your own cars, great video Sarah.

This rocked. Those wheels look fire. The tires sound like the perfect score. Winter tires for rallying makes all the sense in the world and if they wear quick, they can be replaced. Also, editing was on point. Loved the music tucked in there...specifically the Boom Shakalaka from Dumb and Dumber that totally had something dubbed over top. This was fun. Can't wait for Mr Dos' next appearance too.

here in the sticks. 3/4 of the roadways are gravel. there are two kinds of material used . Sand and gravel / milled limestone. Limestome makes a better roadsurface but eats up tires at a much quicker rate than sand and gravel Your mud and snows will last a remarkably long time.

In my humble opinion as a Canadian who's lived with extreme winters all his life, your winter tires will do great in rally. They are a stickier slightly softer rubber but with strong durable side walls as they are designed to tackle solid ice and ripping shards. They have aggressive tread so grip should be very good. This, again IMHO, is a very frugal and workable solution.

Be careful driving and idling over tall dry grass, catalytic converters can get up to 2000 degrees and cause huge wildfires. Maybe wrap it or heat shield it? Also, make sure your morning cold inflation tire pressure doesn't exceed your door jamb decal. Those tires will get super hot rallying and will expand quite a bit. Put some heat extractor vents on your hood too. ;) Good job, keep up the good work!! You got to figure out a way to keep those tiny brakes cool too. ;)

I'd wait to you need to paint the exterior....it's Rally enough the way the paint is. Paint the inside with BRITE WHITE bedliner. Put a couple of white rally stripes on it and save time and money on a respray.
