Solberg with wet setup it seems, car looked quite soft from the onboard.

tyres usually don't deflate without hitting something. So its seems he has gotten more sloppy than he used to be.

Or he's driving the same, but the rubber part between the wheel rim and the road is weaker? :spin:

Probably the only surprise from the 1st loop / 4 stages is that Rovanperä is a bit lost from speed wise.

Could be. But still, even ordinary road tyres don't inflate without hitting something. So it's still because he hits things with them faster than they are designed to withstand.

If the tyres are weaker, you must adjust you driving accordingly. it seems he has not adjusted his driving to make them last.

Is the tyres inflating after an impact becoming a thing now?
