Various things have / are combining on home front to stop too many long distance jaunts but have promised myself a reward at end of year and am thinking of doing a semi proper rally in November.
It's in France and I may have to cope with snow so am wondering do I stick with big fat minilites and take some chains/socks for the tyres or clean up my steel wheels and get some proper winter tyres - like these for instance...ContiWinterContact™ TS 850 - or a more 50/50 setup in case lack of snow!
Rally is a plot and bash affair which rewards accuracy rather than outright speed but elements will be spirited I'd imagine - especially when I go wrong and have to catch up.
Don't want to carry tons of wheels and tyres so one set must do it all.
May need a navigator as not much enthusiasm this end for that position!

This year starts just South east of Paris and ends up near Orange.
Help advice pls - the steels I've got are the 14" ones btw.

. Even the WRC teams get it wrong with weather uncertainties. Will you be taking an on board video?
