very nice as usual. out of interest, how are you doing the tire tread? I'm thinking of a few ways looking at it, so i'd like to know what you came up with.

LiveWire: I made a small section of the tread then i copied it 50 times attached all the mesh and welded. Then I used the bend modifier and angled it 360 degrees and theres your tread.
