Either "compacted earth road" (more specific) or "unsurfaced road"
(which I prefer); or "green lane"
But if the surface is rocky or stone, can it really be described as
"surface of gravel mixed with a varying amount of sand, silt, and
clay" (grade2) or "even mixture of hard and soft materials" (grade3)
and so on?

Two subjective opinions that agree create "consensus", this is I
believe what we seek in OSM when defining tags. Replacing 'stiffness'
with something else is absolutely fine with me. I think the word we
replace it with will essentially be the definition of tracktype. I'm

"Firmness" sounds good to me: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/firmness
I know that "soundness" means the same but has some additional
meanings (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/soundness),
"firmness" is more specific.

Yes, I agree firmness works better than stiffness for describing a surface.
I still would prefer a term that better characterizes what Fernando said
above: "To me, the idea [of] a firm/soft mixture seems closely related to
"how well maintained" the track/road is, as mixtures that are not so
