For me...yes and no. On track runs like all the nurburgring quoters, tires MAKE the difference. I imagine it is similar for offroading. I think it's a touch misleading to swap tires out and claim it is stock. Although I'd consider tires a consumable...that vehicle, MPG, 0-60, road handling, etc are tied to the stock tire configuration.

It doesn't matter much, but with the tires, swaybar disconnect, "missing" video footage as you noted...it's just a disingenuous ad. I know...oxymoron!
Exactly, I mean, it is a given that you're going to find a lot of Jeeps with a much more aggressive tire than what comes from the factory. But who on earth would do that with a Kia Sorrento? I'm pretty sure it has a nice comfortable ride, and with the AWD can deal with some adverse weather but what Sorrento buyer would have the Jeep Modding mentality for it?

Edit: FWIW I still am impressed with how well it did, I just rewatched the video.

There’s wisdom in that.

Though Gamora and I are likely to stumble into chaos, things will look bleak, and then low and behold, you’ll see us, wheels down, arms in the air, shouting “Whew! I’m okay!”
That, or I'll be flooring it to get out of your way as you careen down the obstacle behind me ;):bandit:
