Alright, here is a tire update. I found a pair of tires that i really liked (Neo Gen Tire https://www.neogentire.com), but i couldn't find a bump map for it. So i made one. Here is my attempt at it.. I might change it a bit.

Hey man, Im not sure about these tires, but should the grip on those be more extruded? You may want to make it look worn down in some parts, but not on the edges as much as in the centre user added image. Just what i think. Other than that, its really coming along nice.

looks pretty good so far, and i love the detail on the brake disks (far more then i ever modeled on mine)

other than that if your going to use a bump map for the tire id add alot more detail than what you have at the moment

Hmmm, cant really tell.. it looks "ok" right now.. but you would have to have those grate thingies on the hood textured to really tell. Coming along really nicely though, and your tire is looking great!
