You could do it this way.
Less work.I know. I take this way out of another idea.
The problem is still the UV mapping of the tread and sidewall. I had a look at the UV Tools Gaieus mentioned, but I really don't know how to use that. It is so complicated!!

Thank you for your short tutorial. I will give it a tray, even if QuadFace is still a 'black book' for me!

You may want to check out Tgi3D's cross-section-editing tool. This feature is unlimited in the free training edition.

OganWhere do you mean can I use this plugin? Concerning what? Can this help me fighting against the texture mapping issues I have?

Basically you use it to convert the cylinder on the right to the tire on the left (with texture) easily.

Thank you for your support.

Yes this is part of Tgi3D Amorph. This feature is available unlimited for free in the training version.

Hi all,
Me again! I hope to nott bother you with my problems but this story with the tires is really producing headache to me. In this tread i received a lot of suggestions how to make such a tire. I choose the one with thomthom Quadface tool. This one is leading me to something that I also don't understand:
How can I have this space on the left and right side at the edge and not having the canal near to the sidewall edge? I have deleted the canal left and right in the texture but this does not help.
Attached the model:

Here is a video explaining the usage of Tgi3D cross section editing tool. In your case you should texture the cylinder before you edit it into the tire shape.

I have downloaded the training version, installed but I have just only this toolbar available and there is no cross section tool available! What I'm doing wrong??

Hi,
Opps the video showed old icons.
The 4th tool from the left is the cross section tool. In SU most tools provide a hint if you hover the cursor over the icon a few seconds.

attempt to model the tyre..its a tedious job.
if only there is a plugin that able to wrap something to a curve surface...or maybe it do exist but i've missed it.
