Tire Treads on Cylindrical Surface???

[Wing-Nut]

A month ago I was reading a thread where you gurus were making tire treads. Now I can't find it and did several searches in every sub-forum here. Where did that thread go????? :?

BTW: I found the gears I was looking for, I just have to buy them, LOL. :mrgreen:
I also found the Miniature Motors too thanks to you guys.

Info on the Tire Tread Tutorial Thread would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys.

Hi.
I could only find these images.

Not the posted thread itself.

And I remember some one was posting tire itself.
It was heavy though.

Cheers.

Hi Wing,

Please have a look:

It'd be interesting to see if/how that technique would apply to a motorcycle tire, something with a much rounder carcass than an automotive tire.

if anyone feels like trying here's the model I made of the rear for a 2009 Harley, I'm a little tied up in other projects at the moment:
