pneumatic tire
Inflated rubber ring
A pneumatic tire is a tire inflated with air, as opposed to solid rubber.
The air cushion absorbs shocks from road surfaces, providing a smoother ride.
Nearly all modern vehicle tires—cars, bicycles, aircraft—are pneumatic.
The pneumatic tire revolutionized transportation in the late nineteenth century.
