3D V-tread tires

I've been working on a few projects lately and have been wondering how many good modeled V-tread tires are available. You know the kind of thing - basically, they are stock tires, but a 3D tread has been attached and re-mapped to the stock texture. I have one available by Repfan (and a very good set at that) but I could have sworn I saw some more modern (and curved) ones somewhere.

Does anyone know where such tires are available?

Not to toot my own horn, [yeah, I hate doing that... [(-:]

] but I think mine may be the best out there right now.

Others can be made to a more modern style, but as much as I hate to say it, I think you may have to make em.

I know about every truck ever released and very few had 3D treads, that's why I made mine, although not the greatest, but that may be all there is.

Unless a better modeler than me can make a set, mine were a pain enough, I'm done.

Good luck bro...

CGZ made a ton of nice ones for evo. I don't know his site but you can find some of them at this link

Sort by author to bring his up... there's a few others there too.

Hey at least I kept a lot of old cool links.

The only thing about 3D treaded tires is that they can add a lot of game lag, depending on how much detail they may have. For this reason, 3D treaded tires never became popular in MTM2.

Cobra_GZ's 3D tires for EVO-1 and EVO-2 are a bit too laggy for Monster Truck Madness-2. Just one of his 66" monster tires contains over 1800 vertices. That's 7200 vertices just for tires!

Don't forget to check out LordCap's original 3D tires

First ever made for any game (that I ever saw).

Wow, thanks guys!

Don't I say exactly that same thing with every thank-you note?

[ edit ] I took a look at your BF4 truck, Rep, and found that with slight modifications to the more stock area of the tire, it would be just about perfect.
