There is currently a lot of work being done on 3D printing the rims of a tire but applying 3D printing technology to the actual tire is a difficult process. I do not think the tire would need to be completely plastic because of the current advancement in 3D printing materials but a mixture of plastic and something like Ninjaflex could work.
Hope the information helped and great question by the way.
Please explain to me how to...
