    Rally 13'' tyres Intermediate

    Hallo
    I would like to buy a set of intermediate tyres for my Kadett C gte rally car
    You have a lot of experience with wet - dump weather ,here (greece) our rallies are 95% dry.
    What tyres do you propose for 13'' rim?
    (200 / 530 to 550 / 13 inch)

    Depends on weight of the car and road surface, smooth or abrasive,power?

    200 tyre will sit nice on a 7" rim
    khumo c03 is a good tyre, they use a K rating with the lower the number the softer it is, they will also have a date on them which may not be obvious but will be something like example "2314" this meens week 23 in 2014, lowest they do is a k12, ideally suited to something lightweight ie a caterham, i run k22 on rear of my mk2 with 238bhp and at some venues will hardly wear at all but others will destroy them in not many miles.

    compound ratings
    k10#11#12 pretty much some compound just the higher number means its a newer compound along with the date will tell you that Supersoft
    k20#21#22 Softs
    and higher k number harder compound

    personally in a hot country like greece the above tyres would overheat on long stages,
    its all down to try it and find out or speak to other drivers and visit them several times during the day and see how thier tyres are holding out
