But Fourmaux still with Pirelli on shakedown

Looking from Rovanperas videos, proper Monte conditions and if he is on Hankook's, then it is quite an advantage for first rally..
I note the Pirelli branding has been taken off since the car rolled off the truck....Quote:

Both brands will be used cause there isn’t enough Hankooks

Fourmaux about the tires
What is your opinion on Hankook tires?
"Frankly, the slicks are good, whether they are super-tender and tender, and there is just the rise in tire temperature which is not necessarily as fast as the Pirelli. For the snow, on the other hand, I'm not very happy. It was necessary to work the old-fashioned way by sizing the tires at each assist to have a good functioning at the end of the rally. We'll see what they'll do for Monte-Carlo, but I really hope we won't have the "basic tires". On the other hand, Hankook was very open in the discussions by being very reactive, and that's a good sign.”
Have more drivers in all 4wd classes given any feedback on the Hankooks ?
so.... hankooks looked ok, right? new for everybody, not many random flats... or FIA's new rules for F1 also works for WRC? (cant complain about partners)
I think everybody knows that it is first year for Hankook in WRC. So not easy with development, Monte (and also Sweden) are specific, so no need to criticise them. We will see later during the year...
