High tyre wear causes issues at WRC Paraguay

High tyre wear caused multiple punctures and delaminations for WRC crews at Rally Paraguay on Friday, creating an unusually eventful day.

Four-time world champion Juha Kankkunen stated he couldn't remember a day as eventful as Friday's action at Rally Paraguay, where tyre issues plagued competitors throughout the day. betsport24.es

WRC crews had predicted that Paraguay would be a rally of survival, potentially as extreme as Safari Rally Kenya. Heavy rain is expected to arrive on Saturday and Sunday, rendering the clay/gravel stages incredibly slippery and likely to make conditions even more challenging.
