The way i make them is like this:
Create a segment that has the basic shape of a tire.
Use reference on how the tire tread is supposed to look like.
cut it out and extrude the tiretread.
Use the cut tool to make edges sharp after you applied a smooth modifier.
Now copy and paste this for example 32 times and weld the vertices in between.
(i usually snap the segments using the pivot that i snapped to a certain vertice)
Then as stated above me use the bend deformation tool to make it rotate in the shape of a tire.
Weld the vertices again and apply the smooth modifier with settings 2 or more for a smooth effect.
Note this is polyheavy so be patient
