My Lassa Rally 1 tires came in our group order from rally-tire.com. Didn’t have a choice, this was the only 14″, but they look pretty burly and I think will do okay.
I missed out on an earlier order that had some mud oriented tires that I wanted to order, but maybe it’s just as well. I’ve seen under the conditions we race, those tires got chewed up real fast. The KRP surface is slick and muddy when wet down, but has lots of rock and coral in it. These made in Turkey tires are aimed toward gravel conditions and durability. And as “competition use only” tires, they have super stiff and thick sidewalls, I could lay one on its side and stand on it and it barely budged. This 175/65-R14 tire is considerably taller than any tire I’ve run on the FX so I was a little concerned with fitment. Test mounted them and looks like there are no clearance issues.
Time to test them this Saturday at the rally-x race! I wonder how much of a difference they will make, but heck the tread is more aggro than 90% of the tires on SUVs and 4×4 out there.
