These super strong wire tires are made of woven wire. There’s no air. Just layers and layers of springs designed to withstand the most extreme environments possible. NASA and Goodyear have teamed up to build these ultimate off-road tires.

They can withstand impacts and survive them much better than your average inflated rubber tire. Since the material is made of springs, it also contours itself according to the terrain, giving you excellent traction. Plus they look neat and shiny.

Those are a few reasons why the Spring Tire received the top prize at the R&D 100 in Orlando, Florida this year. They have already been tested on a lunar rover, and now the Spring Tire is set to become part of a lunar mission very soon.
