It is so that the tyres are more weighty and stable on the road to keep the driver safer along with his passengers.

Bias Ply tires do not have any metal in them.
Most Radial Tires usually do have metal in them.
Radial tires were developed because they were stronger and more durable than the previous bias ply tires, and they also had better fuel efficiency, and perhaps better traction.
I suppose the idea was that the steel belts would also inhibit flats. But, they are relatively ineffective at preventing nails or screws at penetrating into the tire, so perhaps that was more hype than reality.

Why are car tires not made of metal?
Many tires have a steel wire core in the rubber to make them stronger. Metal tires transmit every bump and change in the ground under them. In order to have good traction, they have to have bumps and tread built into them. These tend to destroy roads. Rubber provides good traction and a smoother ride for the passengers while not destroying the roads that they run on.
When were tires invented?
It is probable that tires were invented soon after wheels because the people who invented wheels soon found out it was a good idea to have tires on them which could be replaced when they wore out.Well before pneumatic tires were invented, tires made of wood or iron were fitted to stone, wooden or metal wheels to make them last longer. If you don't have a separate tire, the whole wheel has to be replaced when its outside edges get chipped and worn away.If this question is asking about pneumatic tires then search for questions and answers about pneumatic tires, not just "tires".

What type of tires are best when driving over snow and ice?
Studded tires have small metal studs protruding from the rubber, which provides more traction. Snow chains, which wrap around the surface of normal tires, work even better, though they are a hassel to put on.
