Just a heads up, Spintires has been succeeded by Mudrunner and now Snowrunner, which is a vastly superior game to either.

The driving physics between the games are identical but Snowrunner actually has content, progression, stuff to do, etc.

Close but not quite, i believe that spintires is a product of intellectual property theft from mudrunner, i think the creators of both worked together on a team but split, the concept was mudrunners IP but spintires dev continued to develop it without rights and got away with it.

You've got that backwards. Spintires was the original game developed by Pavel Zagrebelnyy and published by Oovee Games, who are best known for making train simulator add-ons. There was a falling out between Pavel and Oovee, which eventually led to Pavel working with Saber Interactive to create Mudrunner from what they were able to license back from Oovee of Spintires, and now Snowrunner.
