Actually the "footprint" of the tire is not that much wider and the threadpattern is more open.

Can't remember if conditions was wery different... some said they prefered the wider tire in high speed (more stable).

I think the narrow tire is better when there is an soft top (snow) over the ice.

its useless to compare snow road with different cars,and 2 years between them.Fia asked for different tyres to slow down average speeds.Isn t it enough for you?
except that just wait some days to see Henning vs Mikko on same tyres,and same power/torque.

Well did they?? maybe i'm getting old, I somewhat remember they said the tires should fit the 15" gravel rims...

But if you look at every year I don't think you will find stagetimes as fast than in 2010 with the wider "slower" tires

That will, sadly, never happen. Mikkos citroen is superior what Henning get from Ford!
