Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Once you have your tread mesh the way you like it, you can put its pivot point at the center of the tire and use Duplicate with Transform to rotate a duplicate into place. Then using Shift+D, each successive duplicate will be rotated the same amount until you go all the way around.
