About tyres
Listening to a interview from Loeb, he said that he choosed his tyres and always took a little longer spikes than Bosse, do you guys know is there some regulations who chooses first and so on.

I don't think there is any regulation about who chooses first.
There are times when choices have to be made by, but nothing about any order.
Loeb has always been good with his tyre choices.

I am not aware of any regulations about who choises first and so on.
Every driver chooses his tires as he wish and it is up to Michelin to deliver the tires asked.
Loeb is the king in choosing tires but sometimes it can't work. You can't be 100% every time.

Due to his retirement from Rally Sweden, Petter Solberg will have more tyres to choose from. I think they are allowed to take 16 tyres from Sweden and add into the ones they have nominated for Norway. Could possibly come in handy?
...may the force be with you...

I think that Loeb's good tyre choises are 50% in his own driving. Especially in Monte Carlo Loeb can easely compensate non-adequate choises and make his alternative tyre choise to look good even if it was neutral in objective terms. Same case probably happened in Sweden. Grönholm could have compensate bad tyre choises by his virtuosity in that particular rally (and he possibly did it in early race).

Are you shure abt that Halvis - sounds very strange. The limit should be by rally and not by season or part of season? I don´t know at all, just curious abt how the rules shall be applied.
