You're gonna have to provide a little more information than that.

What tutorial?
Could be a number of things going on.

Honestly the image only shows me you are using maya, the texture shows up in the viewport, but not in the render...

What sort of material is it...? what renderer are you using...? is your tire map in the correct slot...? ie color or bump or whatever? what sort of file format is the texture. Maya can honestly go haywire if any of these are incorrectly utilized. Let us know!

Think he's refering to the texture not showing up in the viewport, to be able to place it properly.

With the object selected, open up Window > UV Texture Editor. Then go to Textures > Select your texture. Press 6 in the viewport to turn on textured display, if it isn't already.

I'm not an expert but I'll try to help as I can remember maya.
Switch to attributes editor (ctrl+a), then find 'plase2dTexture1' tab, where you can use rotate frame or rotate UV slayers, turn one of them to 90 degrees. I tryied both of them, and all its works. Good luck.
