There are not a few traffic accidents caused by car punctures, especially in high-speed sports cars, the survival rate of accidents caused by punctures is low. Then, some people will ask, since a flat tire is so dangerous, it would be better to make a solid one, and there will be no such thing as a flat tire. Is it really the truth?

Our car tires are made of rubber, and the operation is to use the elasticity of the rubber carcass to reduce the impact generated when the wheel turns. If the tires are replaced with solid ones, the cushioning capacity will be greatly reduced, and it is not suitable for high-speed transportation vehicles. And solid tires will damage the road surface and consume much more energy than today's pneumatic tires. Solid tires have no air leakage, and even if the vehicle is overloaded, it will not deform, and it seems to be very simple to use and maintain. Even if applicable, it can only be used for low-speed high-load vehicles, such as industrial loading and unloading vehicles and power vehicles for cargo purposes. The role of tires for vehicles is shock absorption, grip, stability, load-bearing, etc., which can be said to be a very important component.

Let's talk about the role of pneumatic tires from the perspective of shock absorption.

Pneumatic tires can achieve the effect of shock absorption by generating deformation during operation. To talk about grip and handling, the grooves on the tires have drainage lines, which can prevent the car from slipping, but if the tires are replaced with solid ones, not to mention the waste of materials, various performances will also be greatly reduced. In general, solid tires have many disadvantages, except that they can save the need to check the tire pressure frequently and do not need to be frequently inflated. Therefore, solid tires are not practical, so don't be afraid to use pneumatic tires.
