    In Japan we use winter rally tyres without studs due to ban on studded tyres on public roads. IIRC, Canada does the same.

    As mentioned, the Yokohama A-034 was a popular tyre for many years around the world if there was snow and you couldn't take a studded tyre. I think those were discontinued a couple of years ago and not sure what people are using now.
    For ice conditions, a Michelin X-Ice, Bridgestone Blizzak or similar are popular choices. They are usually also tractionized, a process involving spinning the tyre over steel rollers with small sharp pins that rip up the rubber on the tyre making it like carpet. This is the best possible tyre for ice.
    If conditions are mixed with frozen gravel and risk of punctures, then some version of the Nokian Hakka line like the C series or other light truck/SUV tyre is a decent choice for overall grip and puncture resistance.
    It looks horribly slow, because it is. Imagine having almost no grip and just trying to manage what you can find. Not ideal at all but required by the areas that hold the rally's.

    Then they need some changes in laws to run a decent winterrally?

    Studless not top of the line street-tires is a good explanation of the slowmo video, even the standard nokian hakka9 would been a better choice then

    Also, there isn't much talk about that October candidate event, where is it supposed to be held, no one knows. It's most probable that they are planning to do it in the region of Istra (NW of country), tourist region with some rally tradition, and that the surface will be mixed (at least that was rumoured couple of years ago when Croatia was mentioned for the first time as a WRC candidate).

    No, not Istra at all this time, from what I've heard.

    But the whole thing looks somewhat strange ATM, so let's just wait and see...

    In some articles it's mentioned also that few stages could get across the border to Slovenia. But I think that they just assume this from last time they did want to enter and fail against Turkey.

    Must see: Mattias Ekström in Swedsih Championship round one in Vännäs: says "when rallying at its best" about SS12 in Rally Vännäs. Note: Look all the way to the end. English speaking rounding up.
