Tires made of rubber insulate passengers from rough road surface, are relative light weight, maintain their shape when inflated, most punctures are easily reparable, can be made with tread patterns to allow control by the driver in inclement weather conditions and increase braking power.

Tires made of iron are heavy, expensive, will get dents and bruises in rough road conditions which are hard to repair, transfer road irregularities to passengers, can generate electrical sparks when scrqaping along the road when braking.

Rubber tires are preferred to steel tires because if we had steel tires driving over the smallest pebble would be a very bumpy ride. Rubber tires are flexible and will be smooth when going over rocks.

Why carts with rubber tires are easier to ply than those with iron tires?

Over uneven ground, a cart with solid tyres does not give, when faced with a small object. When you pull it, the tyre will have to rise up and lift the cart over the object. This lifting requires more effort to raise the cart. A rubber tyre will give a little and allow small objects to press into the tyre, without lifting it. Small bumps are averaged out and allow the cart to continue without being lifted, requiring extra force.
