Go back and watch the video - they set it up to fail.

The driver drove through the track with the new tires on the rear and let
the front tires hydroplane. This is an easy recovery, just back off the gas.

Then the driver hammered through the track with the new tires on the front,
throwing the car into a spin. This was impossible to recover from.

Reality is "normal driving" where your back tires break loose and you steer
into the slide & regain traction.

No thanks - I'll continue mounting new tires on the front.

Thanks, Tom Hargrave

Same can happen with miss matched tires such as snows or all terrains in the
rear.
