Gravel Tires (Read 3410 times)

Anthony_T Senior Member Offline Posts: 326	Gravel Tires 07/28/3 at 20:10:46 ...a curiosity question of sorts. How well do gravel tires work on pavement? Are they much more suseptable to hydroplane then a regular or performance street tire? Do they wear quickly? Would they be completely unbearable as an everyday commuting tire (as a fun experiment if one did do a fair amount of gravel travel?)? Just wonderin'? Thanks, Anthony

Something experienced drivers know, choose the right tires for the job. Also, the driver of above vehicle did not heed the warnings fed to him by the odd motion of the car at speed and paid the price with a totalled car (and he was lucky!). Craig
