Use the new trendy flexy filaments to print working RC tyres?

I see a lot of materials now like TPU, PEBA, Foaming TPU etc.

I’ve had very little success printing tyres in 95A TPU because it’s both slippery and quite rigid. Sure, you can drive on it, but it’s pants compared to a real tyre.

One needs maybe 60-70A Shore hardness, and a sticky surface to match rubber. How do these new filaments do?

Sirayatech makes an 85A that is quite nice, not used for tires yet, but for grips and cases it seems fine. It does still have a bit of the tpu surface slickness though. I imagine 20 seconds on the pavement will cure it
