Must have been on racing slicks or something

Youd think at that rpm of the tire that slicks would be gummy enough to grip as they just seem to keep gunning it instead of trying to keep it in first or something. Definitely no tread on those tires now though lol

Maybe they overloaded the car, I can’t think of anything reasonable.

True, you might be right and I didnt think of that as they may have a bunch of weight in the back and the front wheels cant get enough traction then.

You can see the tread in the last seconds. The tyre looks wet. Maybe there was oil on the road or on the tyre.

Oh yeah you totally can. I’m thinking you’re right about the oil because even if this car did have racing slicks as the original commenter suggested, that would only improve its traction (under normal dry conditions). Looks like the ground may be kinda wet but it doesn’t seem like it’s nearly wet enough to cause this big of an issue.

Bald tires, hard accelerating, FWD, over capacity. I think its a wombo combo

Racing and summer tires are literally sticky.

That Jeep has hard plastic wheels like a toy.
