The video reminds me of the mid 1970s, when my first wife and I lived in Big Bear Lake, CA and ran skinny recapped snow tires on our 1967 VW Beetle. The car went everywhere in the snow like it was on dry pavement.
Then my wife and I moved to the eastern Sierra Nevada, settling in June Lake, CA. Between 1979-1985 I drove a 1970 Ford F-250 4x4 pickup. It came with recapped and mismatched tires. With my first Sears card I had a new set of radial tires with some sort of aggressive tread and was happy as can be.
In 1996, I bought a new Chevrolet S-10 4x4 pickup. It came shod with 235/55R16 Goodyear Wrangler RTS tires. By then I was living in the northernmost Mojave Desert at Ridgecrest, CA; also owning a home in Big Pine, CA less than two hours north at the foot of the Sierra Nevada. I was off roading all over the eastern Sierra, Great Basin and Death Valley. Within a thousand miles I figured that those letters meant "Really Thin Spare," as I had numerous flat tires all from dirt road gravel stuck in the tread. The last straw was a small, square edged stone that sliced open a sidewall. After a lot of research I finally spooned on a set of OEM size B.F. Goodrich All Terrain T/A tires.
In 2002, after moving full time to my home in Big Pine, I bought a new Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4. It came shod with P265/70R16 B.F. Goodrich Rugged Trail T/A. I sliced and diced those tires for nearly 40,000 miles until I spooned on my first set of BFG All Terrain T/A in OEM size, but load range E. I hate flat tires. That truck took me all over the Great Basin and came with me when I moved north to the Winnemucca, NV area, where I still reside. When the third set of BFG's worn out, and I wasn't off roading nearly as much as I used to, I decided to save some money and had a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires put on. OEM size, LT rating. There was no issues with the tires as far as ruggedness, but I was disappointed with their performance in the snow.
I gave my grandson the Tacoma and bought my current 2018 Toyota 4Runner, which came shod from the factory with 265/70R17 size tires. Within a month I sliced the sidewall of the passenger side front tire, so had a set of BFG All Terrain T/A KO2 tires put on, load range E, which are still on the truck.
In my experience, I've been satisfied to keep OEM tire sizes. I know skinny tires work well in snow. Fat tires work well in sand. Where I've lived all my adult life, OEM tire sizes have worked well for me.
