I am wondering if this testing will actually be much more about testing the tires (and setup for them) than any development.
Afaik Pirelli hasn't actually done much testing of the tires in cold weather at all.

Also in R5 snow/wet tires it seems that it roughly it goes like this in temperature/softness scale from softest (left) to hardest (right):
Michelin Snow>Pirelli Snow>Michelin wet >Pirelli wet>Michelin soft slick >Pirelli soft slick

We are not on gravel yet, but I really hope they abandon the "medium" gravel tire idea. Since it basically removed any real tire differences on most gravel rallies. Before picking soft or hard could result in big differences, now it's soft+med or med+hard and rarely any difference at all.
