And yes - this video was designed to sell tires. So what? If you ran a company that sold tires, wouldn't you try to increase sales by promoting "cool?" If I were a stock holder in your company, I sure as hell would hope you would.

I do want to add that the last thing this video makes me want to do is burn up my tires in my Box. I enjoy the performance driving more - personal preference. But this is great tv.

I don't question Tiff's abilities. I can see how it could be "great tv" to watch. What I question is what he is DOING. Someone having a bull horn rammed up their ass is also great TV (thx, Grizz, I laughed out loud) but that doesn't mean it'd be fun or advisable to do it yourself.

Companies can try to sell anything they want in any way they want. Doesn't mean I have to buy their product or the way they are selling it.

I'm glad we agree on burning tires vs performance.
