Summary
The Forza Horizon 6 Series 5 Autumn Tire Hunt challenge is a quick way to earn Festival Playlist Points and a Super Wheelspin. You need to smash 15 Drift Tire Mascots around the Shimanoyama area, and players can also buy Forza Horizon 6 Credits to prepare extra resources for cars and upgrades. You do not need to search the entire map, as all 15 targets are concentrated around the same area.
Where to Find All 15 Tire Mascots
All 15 Drift Tire Mascots are concentrated around the Shimanoyama Drift Circuit in the Shimanoyama region. Start by traveling to the circuit, then slowly drive around the track, entrance, pit area, and nearby roads. The tire mascots are easy to spot because they look like small tire-shaped characters wearing green glasses.
Instead of treating them as 15 completely separate locations, focus on the circuit and its surrounding area. Several mascots are positioned close together, allowing you to smash multiple targets during a single lap.
The Rewind Trick Makes It Much Faster
There is an even easier method if you do not want to search for all 15 individually.
First, switch to Horizon Solo from the Online menu. Find one or more Drift Tire Mascots and drive into them to smash them. Immediately activate Rewind and return to the moment before the collision. In Solo mode, the mascots can reappear, allowing you to hit the same target repeatedly until the challenge reaches 15 destroyed mascots.
This trick can save considerable time, especially if you are only interested in completing the Festival Playlist requirement rather than exploring every spawn point.
Tire Hunt Rewards
The official FH6 Festival Playlist confirms that Tire Hunt requires players to smash 15 Drift Tire Mascots in Shimanoyama. Completing it awards 3 Festival Playlist Points and a Super Wheelspin.
Those three points can help you reach the Autumn reward thresholds, including the 2015 Jaguar XKR-S GT at 20 points and the 2021 MINI John Cooper Works GP at 40 points. Series 5 Autumn runs from September 17 to September 24, 2026.
Final Tips
For the fastest completion, head directly to Shimanoyama, switch to Horizon Solo, and use the Rewind trick on a convenient mascot. You can then finish Tire Hunt in just a few minutes while securing 3 points and a Super Wheelspin without wasting time searching the wider FH6 map.
