pneumatic tires
Inflated rubber rollers
Pneumatic tires are tires inflated with air, as opposed to solid rubber or foam-filled alternatives.
The air cushion absorbs shocks from uneven surfaces, providing a smoother ride.
Nearly all modern vehicles use pneumatic tires: The bicycle's pneumatic tires went flat on the gravel road.
The term appears most often when distinguishing from solid tires on industrial equipment or wheelchairs.
