This is one of the more interesting tire tutorials I’ve found. While it’s not the easiest or the clearest, I really liked the outcome and unusual application of the FFD modifier. I’d call this an intermediate/advanced tutorial so if you’re still a little hazy on certain aspects of modeling you might shy away from this one.
Pretty interesting results from this one.
You can start the treading from box modelling or splines. I personally use splines for 90% of my work, but if using splines then you will need to tidy up the model to clean up the geometry…

That’s indeed an interesting approach. Might give it a try in the near future.
Thanx for posting!
