here is the product of a morning's work
I wanted to train a little with blender suburfs

I think I improved, and there are some errors which I won't do in the future

I've learned a couple of things about indigo too:
-it's better to keep the poly count for each object under 5k
-we need a vectorial indigo logo

I like the tire, good profile.

Work on your lighting and scene setup though, the horizontal box thingy in the background is a turnoff. More light wouldn't hurt too.

Here I tried to setup the lights a little better and also to create a more interesting scene

I came back home after leaving it render for 20h+, only to discover that:

-I used the old model, with the indigo logo texture not working and the indigo writing inside the tyre

-I set a specular floor, so my Image was almost all indigo... had to postprocess a bit
