Does somebody has a car with Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tires on?

[jackusctb]

I would like to model this tire in 3DS Max, but on the internet there aren't a lot of accurate pictures. If you've got this tire model, possibly the 245/40ZR18 size, could you please send me a picture of the thread and of the sidewall? Thanks a lot!
I did with Photoshop this [B]seamless[/B] texture [U]by myself[/U] but, as you can see, the quality is too low...

I know that anything with a Type-R badge on it sold by Honda ships with a Potenza AFIAK, maybe try cross referencing honda/acura/itr/ctr/nsx/type-r.

I found these but none of them are specificly a RE040.

Supposedly the DC5 Integra Type-R(only sold in Japan or Euro markets I think) came equipped with a RE040. However I found something about the OEM JDM tire being different than the RE040 sold in Europe so it's possible it could have been specially modified for Honda of Japan.

Thanks for the contribution... the last one is a RE040... What I'm looking for is some detailed picture of the sidewall (like in the last picture) and especially the thread, from a frontal view, this way:

I'm pretty sure I have these on my 350Z, except they're 45 profile. I can get photos when I get home if you like.

That would be really really amazing! Thanks for the time!
P.S. Nice car!

I had them on my S2000. They were pretty good but they had pretty low thread life.

Just had a look at mine now that I remembered: afraid I've got RE050s on mine, sorry!

Ah! What a pity, thanks for the interest, anyway!!
