Lol at the shitty cgi.
I can't see exactly which model, but they're clearly Michelin pilot sport somethings....

1000nm is impressive, especially from a standing start. 3 motors and 1.9 seconds means it's awd.

Ive got exactly zero experience with cars this powerful, but even the most powerful wrx's don't tend to spin their wheels in a straight line in the wet, so I expect regular sticky tires would have no issue getting the power down to 4 wheels.
Its 10,000nm not 1000
ouch ok. yeah, that makes a difference... I take back what I said.

I would not want to be paying for the tires on that thing... I reckon you'll be changing them about monthly.
