Is solid rubber tires suitable for driving on highways? What is the impact on driving stability?

Solid rubber tire is a type of tire made of solid rubber, which has higher wear resistance and no need for inflation compared to pneumatic tires. However, solid rubber tires are not suitable for highway driving and have a significant impact on driving stability.

Solid rubber tires are suitable for low-speed urban roads or underground parking lots, as these scenarios have lower speed requirements and can provide better protection when the tire encounters obstacles. However, on highways, cars travel at higher speeds, and solid rubber tires cannot provide sufficient shock absorption, resulting in significant vibrations during driving, causing discomfort and even affecting driving safety.

Secondly, solid rubber tires lack good elasticity and shock absorption performance compared to pneumatic tires. When driving at high speeds, the contact area between the wheels and the ground is large, and obstacles and uneven road surfaces can generate strong impact force on the vehicle. Solid rubber tires cannot absorb and digest the impact force, leading to vibration transmission to the vehicle body, reducing driving comfort and stability.

In addition, the relatively large weight of solid rubber tires can also have a certain impact on the vehicle's handling performance. The high weight of solid rubber tires increases the inertia of wheel rotation, making acceleration, braking, and turning operations more difficult, reducing driving flexibility and response speed.

Compared to pneumatic tires, they have better elasticity and shock absorption performance due to their gas filled interior, which can better adapt to uneven roads and reduce vibration, providing better driving stability and comfort. In addition, the lightweight design of pneumatic tires also reduces the weight of the entire vehicle and improves its handling performance.

In summary, solid rubber tires are not suitable for highway driving and have adverse effects on driving stability. When selecting suitable tires, it is necessary to choose inflatable tires reasonably based on the vehicle's usage environment and needs to ensure driving comfort and safety.
