Does anyone have any tire tread vector art?
I am looking mainly for truck tire treads.

Thanks,
David

No offence here David, but just how hard are you looking for this? A search on Google images will display shed loads of images that could be used. Pirelli, Goodyear the list goes on.

No offense taken.
I have looked for hours for truck treads.
Specifically I need to make a repeating pattern to use on a tire for my other business.

Thanks,
David

Unfortunately the ones I have are not like that, they are just tyres, but I will keep my eye out for you.

Frank,
Thanks for the tip.
There are more images available using that spelling.

The quarterback for the local High School Football Team spells his name like that.

Only it is pronounced Tie-ree.
I wonder how he would feel if we would call him Tyre (tire)?

I have found an image and have made a repeating pattern, Here it is in the odd chance someone may need it.

Here is what i needed the texture for.

It is used as a combination Bump and displacement map to give depth to an object.

Thanks Steve,

In the words of that 70's band BTO, you aint seen nothin yet.

We get real carried away with the detail on these projects.
