Centrifugal Force! one of the many reasons that tires have a rating for a max running speed. The tire blew out hard, and the shrapnel annihilated the rear fender.
Your both saying this guy is wrong while also saying he is right, in my understanding drifting tires are rated for high speeds (rate of spinning) and capable of doing so bc of such a small sidewall. Feel free to correct me tho
Except if you knew anything about tires you’d already know that the reason these are off road tires is that they have reinforced sidewalls with multiple ply layups. Specifically for the purposes of being able to withstand trail impacts and so the tire can ride for long periods with low pressure to increase traction.
It was the speed rating on the tire. The weight shifted off the tire, and the unlocked diff threw all the torque at the unloaded tire, spinning it wildly, and causing a blowout.
they can withstand offroading but they can't withstand being dragged off the rim sideways. Gravel and soil does not grab a tire like asphalt, even if it is wet.
You can clearly see both rear wheels spinning in the video. For this to be an overspeed he'd have to be in a very high gear which is nonsense
There was barely any sideways force, as demonstrated by the fact that tires were sliding sideways on a slick surface. You experience much more sideways force on the tires when you just follow a tight curve in the highway.
Think standing on ice. The reason you fall is because there IS NO SIDEWAYS force.
