How to get all Wheel upgrades in Pacific Drive

Not all tires are built the same, so you'll want to equip specific ones based on the situation you are going to be finding yourself in. Of course, you can't always predict what's going to happen, which is why it's always good to have all the tires at hand. Here's how to get all Wheel upgrades in Pacific Drive.

To unlock all tires, you will need to use the Fabricator. You will find all of these upgrades under the Wheels tab. Once you have unlocked a blueprint, you will be able to use the Workbench to craft them.

Once you've unlocked all of the wheel upgrades, you can easily switch between them as necessary. Here are all of their benefits and which situations they work best in:

  • The Spare Tire is the basic tire that you can easily make, but since it has low health, these should be replaced quickly
  • Summer Tires have similar ratings as the Spare Tires, except they have more health and perform better on the road.
  • Offroad Tires are the best when you want to drive off the beaten path, and I personally prefer this type of wheel. Whether I plan it or not, I will end up driving through the forest somehow.
  • The Puncture-proof Tire is perfect when you get tired of sealing your flats, as it blocks both the Flat and the Something Status.
  • All-terrain Tires are just what the name says: great for all terrains but not the best for any. These are quite useful for whatever situation you end up in.
