Spiked Snow Tires On Steroids | Red Bull Frozen Rush 2016

» CLICK to watch the Frozen Rush 2016 replay:
When the question "can off-road trucks race on snow?" was first posed, there were a lot of unknowns, not the least of which was whether or not the trucks would actually run at sub-zero temperatures. Turns out they do, and with some minor tweaks they do it pretty well. When Ricky Johnson first tested his truck in the snow, however, it was obvious that the specialized tires he raced with in the desert would not be much help.
Enter BFGoodrich, who approached a unique tire solution for Red Bull Frozen Rush with the full-throttle effort required of any component bolted to a 900hp off-road truck. A standard snow tire has about 100 spikes in it, so they revved up and packed nearly 700 spikes into the one-off, not-for-sale tires used at Frozen Rush.
