    Drivers satisfied with Hankook

    The Rally2 tires proved equally as popular, with Gus Greensmith declaring “I don’t really have anything negative to say to Hankook”.

    “I think they’ve been really good,” he explained. “Some of the impacts we’ve had and some of the sharp edges on the cuts, there’s no chance that a Pirelli would have survived those.

    This year at least in Monte and Sweden they have same tyres and sizes.

    E: in Kenya they also have same tyres, but:

    WRC1: first choice Hard, alternative Soft
    WRC2: first choice Soft, alternative Hard

    same dynapro R213 tyres(hard=G3, soft=G7)

    Oh man... Gus is still mad about Pirelli I thought the same actually that when Gus didn't get any punctures on a tarmac rally, which is known to have a lot of cutting, then it has to be a good tire.

    Gus and Mads should have been full-time Hankook test drivers
