Vehicle tire heater and cleaner system

A front tire heating and cleaning system for a vehicle, the system comprising:

• a brake system configured to selectively apply hydraulic braking pressure against front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle;
• and
• a controller in signal communication with the brake system, the controller configured to:
• upon receipt of a request, initiate a controlled front tire heating mode where the brake system is controlled to selectively apply hydraulic braking pressure against the rear wheels and not the front wheels, and rotate the front wheels to perform a burnout to increase tire temperature for improved front wheel traction during off-road maneuvers, and
• upon receipt of a second request, the controller is configured to initiate a front tire cleaning mode where the brake system is controlled to selectively apply hydraulic braking pressure against the rear wheels and not the front wheels such that the front wheels are free to rotate to eject debris therefrom,
• wherein the controller rotates the front wheels in a first direction to perform the front tire heating mode, and in an opposite second direction to perform the front tire cleaning mode.
