When Rubber was discovered and finally volcanized or heated enough to make it hard it became practical to use instead of iron on wheels. This same concept was used on early trucks, but due to poor suspensions it literally destroyed the roads so a requirement was made to use nematic or air filled tires. Those who lived in the early 1900 view the rubber tired buggy as one of the most significant inventions in their lifetime as it was quite and the ride much better that iron. They are still used today and are far superior to their teal counterparts.
