knobby tires

9 Episode Mentions

Too Afraid to Ask

Knobby tires are tires that have big bumps on them, which help the car grip the ground better, especially on rough surfaces. They're great for racing or driving on dirt.

Technical Definition

Knobby tires are designed with large, protruding tread patterns that provide better traction on off-road surfaces. They are commonly used in racing and off-road vehicles to improve grip on uneven terrain.
