Thanks for your help, I set the size of the elements to 2mm because if I used a higher value the program wouldn't create a continuous mesh. 
I also had problems with the contacts, because of possible penetrations, should I specify each of the contacts between the different materials that make up the tire as "Bonded" ?

What should i change in the u-P formulation ? i don´t know wich type of elements i have ... like 182 181 ect
