Here is my second attempt at a tire using Spikey’s tread tutorial, as suggested by Adrian. I still had difficulty with getting the array on the rim to work and think it had something to do with the exact placement of my empty. I also realize that the lighting is odd and that it created this hall-of-mirrors like effect on the rim (which I actually kind of like).
I also did a screen shot of the tire in Evee so that you can get a better idea of what the model actually looks like:
