Took a look at the results last night, I was faster than one of the competitors.

Bad news is I also got a flat and had to get a new set of tires.

Team O’Neil! I love that place, it’s pretty close to where I live, too!

Also, fitting 4 full-sized tires across the back of my wagon (as yours) is a totally underrated feature in a car. The other day I had both my kids and their school stuff, my dog, my work stuff, some tools, a jack, jackstand, and my winter wheels ALL in my car.

Those Conti’s almost look like they have a gravel tread pattern. 10/10 your time will improve over the next special stage.

I love these tires. They’re what I had for the previous set as well. Great feel in dry and wet, not bad for all seasons in snow (though I’m definitely getting some Blizzaks next winter)

You need to build up some commenting history first. We’ve had a number of people ruin it for everyone by showing up and asking/receiving authorship with the sole intention of sowing discord throughout. So now we only give permission to people with a history of good comments and good behavior.

My 2013 outback has 60 series tires (225/60 17's) so there are almost no performance options, it’s just all season minivan tires, or light truck AT tires. I’m not about to drop the $$$$ to updgrade to 18's on a 175 HP car.

I bet the AT tires would be great. I need better tires for the Milan for rallying

Looks like Tire Rack has two options at least. But I do know that feel. 225/55R17 gives both limited performance options and limited all terrain options.

well thats a shame, theres no way i can prove that ive been here long ago. the thing is i had my oppo account was linked to my google account that i decided to delete. And i didnt realize that doing so would kill My account. But ive been here in opo a long time, i remember when posting Images and gifs were banned because some people were posting NSFW or disturbing things. Then they came up with the grey comments and all that.

I wish I’d see those Yoks, earlier. I went to Les Schwab and got some toyo’s, for much more money.

Yeah, I've totally become a Tire Rack loyalist. Mostly because of their tire testing and reviews

Should have grabbed one of the sets of Subaru sized gravels that are lying around the school. Also I am thinking I need to get an oppo sticker for the Mini.

Not sure 15 inch wheels would clear my brakes. I should look into that

They barely (as in slight rubbing) fit on a brz.

I’ve got a couple sets of gravels from TAG sitting in my shop. The tire diameter is way too small, so I wouldn’t dare run them, but I could at least see if the wheels clear. That way I’d at least know if I could run 15's with some larger rubber.

If you really want to play bad ideas you can fit some pretty meaty tires on 16s under an outback.

I can’t deny I’ve played with this option on Tire Rack
