they are surprisingly grippy on dry tarmac, and the tyres hardly flex much. but its all an illusion. the moment traction is lost, its extremely sudden. it can definitely catch out an inexperienced driver.RS4wd said:how reliable the rally tyre if using on normal road?
First and foremost it's the thread pattern and secondly it's for certain rims with certain width... Theyre semi-slicks...MK84 said:What's the difference between the S575 and S585?

i've only seen the 585 used once. remember back in the silverstone tarmac rally in taiping? 2003 i think. the round that jimmy low entered using the PERT waja? they were running the 585, on the evo 17" rim. i remember the compounds were way softer than the 575 we had on our ford. but they hardly make that tyre, and i think there is usually no stock.
i also remember there were no 17" size for the 575 then.
btw, hows the leg? motorsports is way safer isn't it? ;)
p.s. i know a guy who spun pretty badly once using rally tyres on tarmac. ;)
killerloop25 said:very minimum road gripping for sure. Its meant for gravel. Its like using road tyres on gravel even a 4wd car will fish tail and tends to spin easily on high speeds.
I'll second that...extremeondirt said:ermm...how come when i drive on rally tyres..it grips like hell compared to normal road tyre???
