Depends on what you define as a rough patch.

driving skill goes a long way but give the best driver in the world a stock RAV4 and ask him to follow a dual locked fender on 35s and see how it goes.....

Ahhh .. But a skilled driver would know .... NOT to follow it


Unless it's a rental

This story works because of the "man bites dog" element.
You'd expect the big tyres to breeze thru, and the skinny ones not to. Like you'd expect a dog to bite a man, not the other way around.

It's kind of like beating the Maroons in Origin. May not happen all the time but it's bloody brilliant when it does!

I'm personally a lover of skinny bar tread tyres ... BUT if someone gave me a pair of Mickey Thompson's ... I wouldn't say no

in the vid it appears that the red thing isnt trying to drive out while it gets snatched
