I'm looking for some winter rally tires/wheels, will what everyone is saying about the normal winter tires work? These tires are meant for rallying in snow but if I rally in dirt I'll be using these as well. Also, I have no good place do keep my summer tires, my apt is kinda small. I know it sounds ghetto but would all 4 BBS wheels fit in the trunk? Specific brand and size for the tires would help a lot.

thanks

Please do NOT use gravel rally tires on your car for snow and ice. You will be going NOWHERE! The rubber compound in gravel rally tires is not made to work in snow and cold. Gravel tires become rock hard and provide no traction at all. I have seen too many people make this mistake by showing up at winter rallycrosses with gravel tires and then they spend 10-20 seconds spinning their wheels just trying to get the car moving from the start line.

For snow, you need snow tires and yes these tires work very well in snow rally conditions and may even be ok in some dirt but snow and gravel are as different as snow and tarmac and require different tires. If you are absolutely limited to one tire, I may go with something like a Dunlop Winter M2 or M3. You will be giving up some ice traction but they would hold up better on dirt and gravel than a pure ice tire.

thanks, I considered that what you said was going to be the case but I was hoping it wasn't
