Yes but like Donney above said, punctures are and should be a part of the game. Back in 80's and early 90's when mousse tyres weren't yet part of rallying, drivers had consider different approach to different rallyes. Acropolis for instance was place guaranteed to have punctures. Hurrying slow like Kankkunen said was a smart option

Sorry about the history lecture but I think system like you introduced would some part ruin the essence of rallying.
