great tutorial but i would like to point out a mistake though a very small one (actually it is not really important but i have the impression that you usually model very carefully). when calculating the diameter of the tire you do it with that formula: 16inch + 2 * 60mm = 16*25.41+2*60 = 526.56mm
please pay attention to the fact that in 205×60R16 the number 60 is not a precise measure but says that the tire’s height is 60% from it’s width.

but still: great page, hope you will continue your projects soon!
