Engineering Explained

So much fun making this video - we put a twin-turbo BMW M3 on cheap UHP summer tires, and we put a PT Cruiser on premium all-season touring tires (pricier, but designed for long life). The BMW has 3x the horsepower. Then we put them out on a wet track and timed it. At the end we throw some proper tires on the BMW and run it all again. It's truly nuts how powerful tires are - this one is a fun watch!!

As a mechanic I 100% approve this message. I see customers weekly who have the cheapest possible tires on their car and are upset about the car. They think something must be wrong with the suspension. No it’s those cheap used tires that are older than your car. Literally had a 24 Supra come in with tires from 2019. The Supra wasn’t being made in 2019. 🤦‍♂

That sounds like an epic experiment! It’s crazy how much tires can flip the script—makes you wonder, what other ‘basic’ car upgrades are secretly game-changers? Could the right tires actually outdo horsepower in some scenarios? 🤯 Let’s see those lap times! time

What about the PT cruiser with the budget tires

This was unfair to the PT cruiser. You should've compared it with a 328d

This isn’t even April Fools content - the PT is just the better car on that course
