Replikant Technologies presents two new tire sets in 1/35 scale depicting airless tires US Military tested for their Humvees. Check them out, I'm pretty sure you haven't seen something like this in resin before.
350201 - Humvee Airless Wheel

350202 - Humvee Airless Wheel. Type 2

Each set includes 4 tires cast in resin. These tires depict non-pneumatic tire (NPT) which relies on a pattern of six-sided cells arranged like a honeycomb bordered by a thick black tread. Replikant developed their own production process for these tires in 1/35 scale, Resin Injection System (RIS), which allows making resin copies never seen before, and with a full HD reproduction quality.
