I don't know why do you want to add the tyres into Zmodeler but anyway, here is a solution:

Select all the parts of the tyre (hide the car parts) with the rectangle easy selector tool, (show all), click on Modify/Move on the X,Y and Z axis to set the position of the tyre on the right (right front, for example) side of the car. Then copy the tyre for the right rear position.

Copy the 2 tyres, select them and Modify/Rotate 180° on the Y axis (Press Ctrl+ left-click button and enter 180), you will have the 2 left tyres.

Then, you just have to assign the textures (Press "E" )

at this point, I collapse. I hide all the car parts. Now I see only the tyre. I click on Modify / Move, but what exactly must I do now????

per drag and drop you have to move the wheel ...
but not in the 3d view...

BMW Sauber Ferrari
Ferrari F10
Virgin Racing
Ferrari F150
Marussia Virgin Racing

yeah, thanks. Now it works. Is there a way to assembly the tyre parts to move them or must I really move every each tyre piece?

I use Zmodeler to do the tyres also because I don't know how to use gp4builder.
If some one could explain how to do it in gp4builder that would be great.

import the tyre(e.g. front tyre)
group all tyre objects
and align the tyre to the corrispondent brakeglow(front left>f_l_brakeglow,front right>f_r_brakeglow) on all axis
then duplicate the tyre and invert its Y coordinates
and align it to the other side's blakeglow

do the same for rear tyres too

Yes, you can uniteselect all the parts of the tyre. To do this:
1- Select all the parts with the easy rectangle selector tool (they appear in red when selected)
2- Create/ Objects/Uniteselect (make sure "SEL" tab is activated) and click on one of the selected object
3- Rename this new single object.

It is done

If you want to move several parts without uniteselect them:
1- Select all the parts you want to move with the easy rectangle selector tool (they appear in red when selected)
2- ("SEL" must be activated) Modify/ Move and use the X,Y,Z axis to move them.

If you want to move only one object, you don't have to select it:
1- "SEL" tab must be desactivated
2- Modify/Move and click on the object and drag it on the X,Y,Z axis.

Hope it is quite clear on how to select one or several object and to move them into Zmodeler...

Thanks, but that explaination only works if you know what you are doing. I don't.
In order for me to understand that, you would have to go through it step by step and tell me what to click on and what to change.
