Nice one, render looks pretty cool, although i reckon itd look a lot better if there was some tread on the tyre, it looks very flat at the moment.

Might be worth scaling it down as well, looks a bit out of place compared to the room (the fact that theirs a brick texture on the back wall dosnt help the sense of scale either...)

Thanks for the comments.

The original tire model was 63 meters wide. I scaled it down about 10 to 1, but I should have been more careful about that. (A 20' tire is still too big.)

And I scratched my head about how to easily add some tread, but didn't come up with any ideas. ( )

here a vey basic way of making a tyre tread. maybe someone else knows a better way?
