A 3D model I made in Blender years ago, based largely on a Toyo tread pattern. Designed for a 1/10th scale 17" rim, but 18" may also work. It printed well in PLA with a 0.4 nozzle at 0.2 layer heights. I also tried 0.1-0.3 adaptive layer heights, which looks somewhat better to me with the sidewalls. Meant to be able to slip your own custom designed rims into, to use for say, a clay model of a car design, as an example.  If you happen to successfully print in PLU, I'd love to see it. One of the tires is mirrored in the file since the sidewalls do look slightly different between the bed side and the top side. Then if you print two sets, you can choose the better looking side of all without the tread having to be backwards for any, or you make one set more than 100% Z axis sized if you want the back tires to be wider.
