    Right now it looks more like 3 days of massive rain.

    Trying to make sense of the tire limits. After reading both the Fia WRC sporting regulations, the Monza Supplementary regulations and Bulletin n4 I still don't get how the number is limited.

    The first two documents only mention the total number. But in bulletin n4 (from here https://www.acirallymonza.com/notice-board/?lang=en ) it says:
    First choice 24
    Second choice 12
    Wet 12
    Snow 8
    Total 24.

    If you pick Wet as first choice can you get more than 12? I guess they don't wear much in rain, but with all the handbrake turns on the circuit they might wear a bit?

    Related question, how to find out which R5 is using what tires right now? (besides looking on stickers at SD/other pictures.)

    Top Rally2 driver tyre brands are covered here

    As for the wet tyres wearing out, remember that this rally has less kilometres than on a normal rally. Basically Friday is half the normal length and Sunday would be on the short end compared to normal rally Sundays. It's also interesting that there's services between every Monza stage, so the tyres can really be optimized.

    Didn't check there.

    I'd say on Canarias there were some small indications that Michelin wets might be slightly better when it was very wet, while Pirelli wets were better when it was damp. But temperatures were different and tarmac is also different.

    There is still a limit in wrc sporting regulations (15.1) for max 7 tire changes during the course of the rally. With 13? service/flexi service that would mean changing only every other service.
