They either used Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro.

I use it too, but I don't know how can I cut the car!

i see you've used the wand to cut away the background, you should use the polygonal lasso tool in photoshop to get a better cut.

when the background is quite different in tonality from the foreground, i usually use the "background eraser" tool...

the only hardest part of cutting for me is distinguishing from shadows and tyres, is there any easy way to do that?

How do you do that?

Use the eraser tool and set the % to 30 and don't use the solid one.
I'll post screenshot tonight when i get home if you don't understand what i mean

One quick suggestion, just crop all around the car and do the rest using the eraser. It is tedious, but most of the time when using the lasso you end up leaving jagged edges. Or you might want to try both. Use the lasso for the easy parts (like the top of the car) and use the eraser for the bottom where the color is closely the same especially around the wheel. After a few tries, you can pretty well guess where the wheels should be. This may not work for all, but this is what I found works for me.

I did the same but it take's to much time. better try to learn how you can use the lasso tool if you use it correctly you can make perfect cut outs

In the display options menu turn off car neon\shadow and you will see where is wheels
