I think those are the real tire sizes for the rear of that car.

It looks like a race or rally? If the driver had flipped the car, as it appeared it might, then those people standing in the field were in a bad spot.

IIRC, the original BMC Mini Cooper had 10"

Yes the original mini performed very well in salon races, except it had to pit for new tires more often than for fuel.
In this particular clip I am reminded that cars can recover from very bad situations. But the driver must continue to drive, not close their eyes and hopeless announce 'I lost control!'
