Description
I stayed up until 11:30PM last night to get the quality high enough I could delay putting the letters and wingfoot on this one. I first put this in Science/Technology to commemorate the passing of 1g as a limit to traction laterally and axially on the street. Coefficient of friction has now made probablity = 1.0 suspect. Fermi depended on it in beta emission. About 1957 the last bike won Top Eliminator at the drag strip and a car went over 155mph in the quarter mile marking over 1 g of average acceleration from a rubber tire. Samuel Pierpont Colt's ghost must have smiled. Then Grand Prix and Indy cars began to push the lateral limit up to nearly 3 g and NASCAR followed. This image is not in Science/Technology with my professional peers because this is a street tire. It is simply Transportation. One of my earliest models in RayDream was a quarry truck tire with diagonal tread blocks. I toiled in obscurity ever since trying to show virtual reality to my viewers.

Excellent and very detailled composition. I wish, my tires would have such a tread.
I always tread carefully to avoid friction. It's a habit to be recommended. Mike
terrible tes hot wheels !!!! bravo
Impressive modelling very relistic....!!!
your obscurity is limited. you see
Damn he makes tires and I just paid $1,299 for new tires and brakes on my car... next time I will call you.. lol very nice!
cool and realisitic tires! nice
Great render!
Nice tyres textures.
Indeed, this must join ball bearings, oil, grease and teflon as one of the best friction fighters. Splendid rendering of everything, mainly the rims and tires, and especially the treads.
I went to Goodyear and Discount tire to inquire about a road hazard policy for my new tires /rotation balancing. I asked Goodyear first and their price and benefits was not in my best interest and bought at Discount.anyway I inquired about the price of the tires which are speed rated. Goodyear said $232 per tire and Discount for the same tire asking price was only $190 I think I will go to Tallpindo's shop for some if I need. hopefully it will not be an issue for along time. I did not know before buying the XRs that it had speed rated tires that has softer rubber and has less life on tread wear than regular tires. first car to have such for me
wonderful and great history too i did not know
great details in your models....well done!! :-)
Very great work. :-) hugs sessan
Awesome treads on these babies! and I love the old Nascar slicks back from the days!
Where is the girl ? Great work !
thats a great tire, no mistake
I do not understand: this wheels are nice?
It is not a persuasive tire texture either.
