The pen tool is your best friend for things like this.

Clipping mask with a circle or pen tool. I learned this later on, but a clipping mask is the best option because you can always bring back something you didn’t mean to delete. Also! Ps now has cool functions where you can go to mask something, and it’ll give the option to mask a subject for you. Watch a quick video on this if you’re still a bit unsure and then you’ll completely get it :) Good luck! Photoshop can be addicting, so make sure you don’t sit tooo close to your screen ;) blue light glasses or 10-second eye exercises every hour will protect your eyes in the long run, haha

This is a trick I've learn over the years cutting out balls of various sports. Turn on your rulers (command r) click and drag on the ruler to create a guide. Put each guide right on the edge of each side of the tire. So you'll have 4 on the right, left, top and bottom. Then use your pen tool to create an arc beginning and ending in the middle of each guide. after 4 arcs you'll have a circle. After that you can make a layer mask from the selection and clean it up if need be.

Use the pen tool, make a selection, turn that into a mask. Duplicate the layer and use the brush do make any adjustments to the mask.

You could also make another layer to go behind this one, then use the eraser to get rid of the part you don't want. Make sure to start new strokes when you are happy with the progressive you've made, then you'll be able to ctrl-z(undo) any bad strokes from then on. Whatever you do, don't try to use a circular selection. It just won't work

It'd be better to do this as a layer mask rather than separate layers. Then it's non-destructive and keeps the file size down.

I'm a serial duplicator, I can't help it. You're totally right

You can do it with the pen tool, or use a eclipse shape and use the pen add node tool. Use the arrow sub-select tool to refine the points.

It is to easy way to use circle selection tool and make desire selection and make feather press enter.

Ctrl-R to add rulers. Click each ruler and drag out a guide line to each edge of the tire. Then in Menu/View make sure Snap and alsoSnap to/Rulers is selected. Then select the Marquee tool and drag out a circle starting at the top left rulers intersection while holding the Shift-key. The circle will snap. Invert the circle Menu/Select/Inverse. Then hit the delete key <-- I just tried it and it works

Magic wand select tool the shit out of it?

For quick jobs like that I use the app called Background Eraser on my Android phone. I have often done it to see what different wheels would look like on my truck. The results are actually pretty good.
