(SOLVED) Problem with tyres - want slicks got grooves

I dl Lee's awesome news 2009 slicks and load them into the game (I am using CSM)
when viewing from cockpit view the slicks are clearly visible but from T-Cam and all external views I can still see the grooves.
I went into Data/Tyres and removed all other texs and than installed only Lee's 2009 slicks but I have the same problem.
Even in a wet race - wet race grooves appear despite the fact that I only have Lee's tyres in the directory.
It is like CSM is referencing tyres from another directory or am i missing something? Any help appreciated.

PS) - i am using full 32 bit textures and I don't believe it is a graphics setting problem as everything else cars/helmets etc is fine.

You also have to substitute files in Rims folder

@ Gigi4

Thanks for your help - but only the shapes (lods) go in Rims.

go to menu, file and delete all wadcache... :p

@ phantaman

Tried that too mate - no luck

Thats definitly a wheel shape problem, the cockpit uses a different wheel than external that probably why it only shows in external views,id replace all the wheel shapes, but since i dont use csm i couldnt tell you how to replace them sorry.

i think this pack for 2009 doesn't have rain tyres... why the default textures appear :p

Its not a texture problem, you can clearly see the textures are fine but the wheel shape has the 3d grooves

because of the texture format i use, only slimtex will open them,you will get errors when using other programs, but why do they need to be opened ?

FOR gOD SAKE...

Lee gave the explanations..

some tires uses the grooves on textures.. other uss the grooves on SHAPES..

if you are using the grooved shape.. all you have to do is change the damn shape to a flat one.

i dont use csm but as far as i can remember it goes into RIMS folder and wadcache.
