Hi, i've started working on a car wheel which i want to make look as real as possible, ive made the alloys and rim (will post pic when i get back from college) and i've stumbled on a problem.. Is there an easy way to model the tread of the tyre?

i dont want to use a tread texture because im going for realism and i always find that no matter how much time i spend on bump mapping, uvw co-ording etc the result always looks flat.

If anyone could point me in the right direction here (i know that alot of you are awsome car modellers) it would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance
