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.
