“Rally is the only round of the WRC that takes place exclusively in wintry conditions with studded tyres. Unfortunately, recent mild weather means there is insufficient ice on the originally planned route, so the organisers have restricted the number of stages that will be run. It could be a complex event for our tyres because they are designed to bite into ice, so they might suffer if the conditions are predominantly stony dirt. The drivers will need to take care of the 384 studs that are inserted in each tyre, but our experienced technicians will be on-hand to provide advice.”
