Tires can be an amazing number of shapes.
Pardon me: I should have mentioned the magic words: "curve of constant width". There are many examples of this, not least of all British coinage. British 20p and 50p coins are heptagonal shaped.
Those shapes would work great as cams as part of some machine or another, but not as tires.
Vibration alone from tires of such shape would shake any vehicle to pieces if it were to be driven at anything faster than a crawl.
NOT! You obviously don't understand 'curve of constant width'.
Way to completely (and deliberately) miss the entire point of the example.
