3D printed Tires

So on my 3D printed cross kart-like vehicle known as 3D kart I wanted to print some wheels and TPU tires but I have a problem with it, the last time I tried to make some tires from TPU they had no grip so I was wondering if any of you had any tips or tread patterns that might help with grip.

I've heard some have had ok luck with Ninjaflex?

Mostly it seems like these projects end up with either:
- 1. print tire, make silicone female mold around printed tire, cast silicone tire, install tire on printed rims.
- 2. Redesign to use donor tires/wheels from something
- 3. Paint with 'liquid latex' for a grippy layer

On-road, Off-road? What size range for tires do you think?

Its been a while since this post and I used wheels and tires from a scx24 deadbolt. If you wanna see the build just go to the 3D printed cross kart thread part 1 its in the on road section, I thought it would be on road but as the build progressed it turned into and offroad build.
