Especially so in recent years. You wouldn't say so then? Ive seen Subaru lose many rallies because of unnecessary punctures, the tire just isn't competitive enough on some grounds. It was better on one condition, don't know which one though? Come on. You can't blame all their bad luck on the tires. It's been as much Prodrives fault, they haven't been able to build a competitive and reliable car. Even Petter Solbergs own commentaries say so. And what's an unnecessary puncture? A Michelin/BF Goodrich tire would blow the same if you hit a rock or a sharp edge or something, it's just been bad luck that they seem to stumble upon them.

True, we can't only blame the tire, but it was responsible for many of the bad luck moments. Prodrive is also guilty I agree, but the tires are more!

You call it bad luck, I call it lack of quality. But ok I can respect your opinion so lets see next season if Subaru will have more punctures then the others, since their using the same tire
