To be fair to Hankook, when a driver says he's seen less stones on a gravel rally its pretty tough for a tarmac tyre built for speed.

I think you guys o should have in mind these tyres as well as Michelin or Pirelli never been mad of Concrete or stainless steel. They are rubber. They don´t stand for forces fron sharp tarmac edges. Never, ever.
I would never by Hankook (I think) to my private everyday car, but don´t bash the tyre when drivers handle them as undestroyable.
Maybe go back to mousse again?

Blame the stages not the tyres...

It's funny that Neuville said that he finds his self again when he is slower 0,5 s/km from Solberg and Elfyn.
That first stage today will have sapped morale at Hyundai for Rally Islas Canarias. Fast, flowing and, sadly, clearly a Toyota stage.
Even allowing for strategy, Toyota is far superior on such asphalt. Spain will be hard to follow.
