Where to find Off-Road Tires in Fortnite
Off-Road Tires in Fortnite are most reliably found at Chonker’s Customs. It’s a new garage point of interest situated next to the Gas Station at Catty Corner. This is the location marked on our mini-map:
Provided you can get there quick enough, there’s a set of Off-Road Tires that always spawns inside the building.
Destroy this tire display with your Pickaxe, and you’ll get one Off-Road Vehicle Tire mod in return. If that stand has already been destroyed, additional Off-Road Tires can be found as floor loot, typically around the back of the establishment. In the event Catty Corner fails you, Off-Road Tires are likely, but less guaranteed, to spawn close to most Gas Stations or garages.
Here’s a Gas Station with a tire spawn at Sweaty Sands:
We also found another viable option at Holly Hedges. Just make your way from Gas Station to Gas Station, and you should find the tires you seek.
How to mod vehicles in Fortnite
Once you’ve got at least one Off-Road Tires mod in your inventory, you can toss it on any drivable vehicle you might encounter. And, since you likely already had to go to a Gas Station or garage to get the Off-Road Tires, there shouldn’t be a vehicle too far behind. Just equip the item, and you’ll be able to throw it onto a vehicle like so.
Once the vehicle has been upgraded, you’ll see that it’s clearly more prepared to handle some off-road adventures with your Squad.
Modding a vehicle sounds like a new feature that might be difficult to use, but it’s actually deceptively easy compared to Season 6’s somewhat convoluted crafted system. That’s all you need to know about Off-Road Tire mods in Fortnite.
