Here’s my first attempt at modeling a car tyre and I’m quite pleased with the result. I’ve tried to put as much detail as I could with the caliper and brake disc, the treads could be improved with a better detail design but there won’t be much visible so it should be okay as it is.

To create the treads of the tyre I used plane geometry to make one horizontal part and cloned it several times to make a long strip, I’d then attach them all and welded the vertices together. To wrap it up I used the Bend modifier which makes it into a full circle.
