It's not so much the length of the course. They're pretty quick, and autox emphasizes handling over pure speed, so you spend the majority of your time negotiating turns, chicanes, slaloms, etc.

Since the idea is to take your car's handling/traction to the limit, it'll chew up your tires pretty quick.

That and you'll just flat-out have shitty handling on a set of snows. . .
