Summary

Matt Farah and Zack Klapman went off-roading in the new 2026 INEOS Grenadier Station Wagon Trialmaster and it almost went very wrong; a full review of the INEOS and its competitors; Tesla is ending production of the Model S and X, so we talk about why and what it means for the future; Washington D.C. is going to have an INDY street race apparently; and we answer 50 questions from our Patreon members, including: Would we rather be mid-tier racing drivers or have our current jobs? Which supercar should have had a diesel engine? Miata RF or soft-top? Best M5: E90 M5 or E90 M3? Most enthusiast-magnet nerd car? Are "classic" tires worth the price for my older car? Which cars does every enthusiast need to drive? More timeless design: Lexus GS or C6 Corvette? Do we like bigger wheels? When? Were early paddle-shifted transmissions cool when they came out? That new Porsche Rally GT Why does the S63 AMG feel like too much AMG and not enough S? F1 2026: Audi vs Cadillac. Thoughts? Which cars depreciate TOO fast? Why don't STIs hold value? Options that made cars unreliable Would you always choose a lighter engine in a race car? Foreign car brands that would work here And many more! Recorded February 2, 2026 Note: Upon watching Coffeezilla's analysis of the files it appears that Peter Attia's relationship with Jeffrey E was more than just "In the same room at an event." It is unclear what their relationship was but their email exchanges are concerning. It should go without saying that we hope all facts come to light and justice is served to any and all deserving of it. - Zack SHOW NOTES Truewerk Get 15% off your first order at https://www.truewerk.com using CODE: TIRE. .

0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome to the Smog and Tire podcast. Today's episode is, as always, brought to you by Off the Record. We love Off the Record. And you guys do too, or at least you keep telling me over and over in the DMs and the emails that off the record saved your backside from a big old problem out there. Here's how it works.
0:27.1	If you are driving out there in your car, you could be doing basically anything, and then you get pulled over and you get a ticket.
0:29.0	It happens, you know, but what you don't do is plead guilty.
0:32.7	You never plead guilty.
0:34.2	You don't have to plead guilty.
0:35.8	It won't just make it go away. Instead, what you do
0:38.8	is get off the record. You go to off the record.com slash tST. That'll get you 10% off all legal
0:45.5	services booked through off the record. And they will fight that case all the way to the end.
0:51.1	If they don't get those points off your record, you don't have to pay.
0:54.8	It is like that. Off the record.com slash TST. I'm using them. Every time I need them,

1:07.5	you write that one down. Off the record.com slash t-s-t.
1:12.4	All right, folks, on this show, Zach and I have had a go in the Ineos Grenadier.
1:19.1	Did a little bit of off-roading, and we go over that.
1:21.5	Plus, Herr Fierer wants to have an IndyCar race at the National Mall in Washington,
1:27.0	and Elon has decided to not make
1:30.9	cars anymore canceling the Model X and S with no replacement. All this and more. It's the
1:37.7	smoking tire podcast. Let's go. What the fuck was I even doing this weekend? Went to Manhattan Beach,
1:43.7	cars and coffee, which was good.
1:45.1	It was so busy.
1:47.0	The place was like over full by, it's supposed to start at 8.
1:51.2	I get there at 7.35 and the place is like blown out.
