The type of tires used by supercross and motocross racers. These tires have large square knobs of rubber tread that are designed and arranged in various ways to best grab the dirt. Sometimes mechanics take knobby tires and carve sipes into them them even more with a hot tire cutter–in order to help the tire pattern best match the terrain.
