If it not cover by ice or snow - tyre will lose studs very quickly and it's be undriveable very quickly.

If roads are soft and wet, the area will look like a Battle of Bulge after the rally.
If the roads are at least frozen, then no harm will done and studs can be used. On gravel.

1. Roads will be destroyed Originally Posted by stefanvv
2. Gravel tyres don't work in ~0°C conditions. They would need a "supersoft" option.
3. I believe the cars still have to use winter tyres in Sweden on the road sections due to traffic legislations.

Has Sweden ever been cancelled before?
Second WRC event out of three lost to climate change, or just bad luck?
