Best Answer

Most tires are supported by air pressure alone, not the tire, the tire controls things but is a casing to hold the air that hold the car up.

There are tires called run flat that can work with out air pressure for a little while.

In history there were solid rubber tires that did not require air at all, they were terrible.
