Making spokes yourself is pretty much out of the question. The heads are forged/stamped with a very special tool and the threads are rolled. You can get the threader but not the stamper. And given what spokes cost to buy it's even more pointless to try.

And due to the shape and size of the contact patch of a bicycle tire, a bicycle can'taquaplane. So small/no treads will do fine.
