Tarmac events.

Since the mid 90's pure slicks have been banned in rallying - so the manufacturers now mould them with those tread patterns in, to conform with rules.

Cheaper end of the market range of available tyres but not the worst by a long shot.

and tend to nead a fair amountof heat in them to make them work - but they will work - and still 10x better than any road tyres
