Or make tyres free, so all tyre manus can compete as well.

Apparently yes, he did have only one spare, so decided to leave the stage

Becs and Paul King are clueless. Totally forgotten Greensmith had a puncture towards the end

Bad display by Pirelli, but it's a big risk taking only 1 spare with how rough it is.

Rally was intended as endurance sport. Part of the thing is to drive smart enough not to have punctures and not to brake cars
