Wow, it's amazing to watch a craftsman work his magic. Asking questions and seeing the answers from around you, guess you weren't preoccupied in class. Bravo. Thanks again. Waiting for more.

technique for adding "use" to slick tires: hold a foam sanding in one hand and a car in the other. Rub the car in a circular motion around the sanding block for about 3 to 4 minutes, and you will end up with that gritty matte look of slicks. Just a fan passing along tricks.

Maybe use a hot file a then run the tire across it to make a heat impression of the file for a tread like appearance. Cool tires!

Awesome! Wonder if the modeling trick of sanding the tires (vinyl in this case) would create a more realistic rubber tire look? Or maybe you could slide a section of the vinyl tubing on a section of similar diameter pipe and put it in the lathe and then use a wire brush or wire comb (used for cleaning paint brushes) and scratch some light grooves on the outer edge of the vinyl. Well either way I dig the idea. KUTGW on these cool tutorials!

Maybe use a file, heated and the tires rolled over it to add tread?

How about if you were to put it back on the lathe and gently bring a cutter in slowly as not to melt the vinyl. Thanks for the great videos and tutorials also. My other hobby is model railroading and I'm always scratchbuilding or kitbashing something to save on cost, keep the great videos coming.
