    Yes, I was wondering how this vehicle is driven, but for the heavy work it has to fullfill, I supposed that it uses a four-wheel-drive. My tyre treads have to be reshaped since their outlines are just a very rough approximation. I made them by extruding an edge with snapping “individual elements” on the tyre surface and adding a solidify modifier. The “rubber” look comes from the subsurf modifier. I need to sharpen the tread outlines more after the blocking stage.
