There's no confusion. 1 cm strap of rubber is not a tyre.

The tyre doesn't need to be inflated. It can be flat but it has to be a tyre. The black round one piece of thing.

So it´s confusing then. Some talking about as long as "there´s some kind of rubber..." when you talk about a whole round black thing. Two different sayings, right?

No because it's not about what someone is saying. The rules state "tyre" and they have been clearly interpretted by stewards for more than ten years. Every team and crew knows what that means.

Mikkelsen on cruising mode now.

rubber doesn't mean tyre in any way. rubber is not enough. you have to have a tyre.

I thought the rule was brought in to prevent driving on the public highway with an 'unroadworthy vehicle'......(As already noted; Loeb in Mexico, Makinen/Gronholm in GB, etc) Surely Ott should have been stopped before the road section?

Alright. "As long as there´s rubber" isn´t enough and have never been the case anytime then? Fine for me.

Surely, but by whom? Either by driver, by team or by police because organisers have no power to stop competitors in road sections, there normal civil road traffic rules apply.

Gryazin changed wheel in the stage.
