Years a go I broke a rim over a hole in the road even with 205/55 R16 at 80 km/h...
Anyway it's incomparable because the forces affecting the tyre at the moment of impact (especially lateral ones) are of completely different magnitude and the suspension keeping the wheel in contact with the surface is of a different world.Last edited by Mirek; 1st April 2019 at 11:22.

Is a rally tarmac tyre construction much different to a road car tyre of the same size and profile ? The sidewalls I guess are very stiff ?

You can't just compare your road car experiences to WRC machines. Not even hobbyist rally car experiences are comparable. The speeds and forces are just on another level.

Wet conditions. Portuguese Autosport brought something to the table... the WRC2 crews are using a WRC spec tyre that is harder than the spec Meeke and other CPR runners are using.
