Ford F-150 Lightning Breezes Up Obstacle Where Tesla Cybertruck Struggled

As much as I wanna hate on the Cybertruck, tests like these are kind of irelevant as the tires could end up making more of a difference than the car.

Granted it's Tesla's responsibility to ship the car with adequate tires to its customers.

CT was on all terrain tires while Ford was with road tires in this test

Yes, this is a tire test. My Tacoma would skid (scary) on Seattle's steep, wet streets, until I got Michelins. Huge difference and not because of the truck.

Can I ask which tire brand you had before, the ones that were skidding?

It was some weird Chinese brand that the previous owner installed. Had mediocre reviews.

I still don't get some drivers that have nice cars but cheap out on the tires.

Like FFS man, those tires are the only thing keeping your car on the road, why would you risk your life and cheap out exactly on the most important safety items?
