    Loeb's tyres were shot by the end of SS13.

    He was running 4 x SS6. Most other crew were running 3 x SS6 + 1 x S6.

    Other crews had no problems.

    I think he has run out of allocation of SS6 (24 tyres) and taken a 'best of' used tyre in a risky tyre gamble.

    Either that or team have screwed up.

    And only about 7min of that first stage was dry, if it was just the tires shouldn't all of them have been like that after the stage just not one of them...? Looks like it's had too much air if you look at the middle, did Elena grab a smoke before the stage and forgot to lower the air pressure...

    Loeb had today morning 5 super softs,while all the others had 3 super softs + 3 softs.
    the problem for Loeb was that he had to used these tyres for all 4 stages,while the others could rotate with softs
    except that running a car with 3 softs and 1 ss doesnt slide so much,its much more grippier,so you protect better that 1 super soft you have on the car.

    how you know that the other tyres are ok? wehavent seen any photos from other tyres.
    7km are not few kms at dry for super soft.
    When a tyre overheating this drives to inreases air pressure,so maybe this we see at the photo is not due to starting with high air pressure,but the result of overheated tyre.

    if tyres are looking like that after just one stage, something is wrong.

    even with the wrong tyres, loeb should know how not to destroy them.

    Mighty impressive from Neuville today....but honestly I think the top 5 can all be pretty satisfied with the result.
