It will depend on the accuracy of driving, luck, circumstances (wrong pressures, weather/surface changes etc.).
But I'm surprised to hear that the tyres are still so fast... I thought they were going to develop a really HARD tyre which will sustain big impacts, less grip -> slower performances -> sideways action. But let's see...

Helstar. Pirelli couldn't make fast tyres before. What makes you think they can now? It will be a miracle if they are not rock hard.

I think it is good to ban mousse, looking at Loeb he never uses it anyway, judging from his grungy looks.
Banning mousse is good me thinks because it simplifies things a little bit and make the competition a tiny bit more even. Having no mousse in the tires means also that you have one rather compicated issue less to bother about. We have had many drivers troughtout the last years who have been suffering from tire vibrations and there have also been not that very few instances where the mousse have not been working properly.
The design of these tires are rather complicated, and I think it is good for rallying to get rid of at least one more aspect which can cause problems and do not have to do with pure driving skills. Besides it spares money.
Regarding the safety issue I think it is not that agreat problem, as pointed out above.Winner Best Signature Championship 2007! Winner of BSC 2008! Winner of BSC 2009!

According to Mikko Hirvonen (from a Finnish paper), thay had 0 punctures on Sweden test with the new tyre. the problem was though, that they lost all studs from some tyres, so quality was not consistant.
