Michelin Baja and Desert are defenately available in 18"
Half the Tuareg rallye in Marocco was riding them last year

Whatever offroad tyre you choose, the issue is with the standard rims. They are too wide and too soft.

Get some Excel 1.65x21 an 2.5x18 inch rims around your hubs or better yet, an extra set of wheels to quickly swap between offroad and onroad.
The spoke holes for the rims have to be specifically drilled to fit the LC8 hubs.

thank's ...

what's you think about the Karoo 2 ?

[member]

Karoo is Worthless: Low milage, moderate grip (not enough sideway traction), stiff, expensive and unpleasant on tarmac.

In Dutch: "klotebanden"

Thank's Dr Bean

What's is your tire on your lc8 ?

for allroad light gravel: The original Scorpions

For offroad mostly Michelin Baja front and rear
for Rally last time I used the Terraflex II, or M.Desert.

General allround (off and on-road): MT21 Pirelli, is good and cheap solution.

And don't bother me about what's allowed and what isn't.
