ELI5: Why don't they just make tires out of solid rubber?
Post Body
I popped a tire a while ago (backed over a cinderblock LOL) and I noticed that the spare was solid rubber. I can only assume that's because solid rubber tires can't pop, but then why don't they just make all tires like that, so they can't pop? Am I missing something important here?
