Automobile wheels are made of steel because they need to withstand a lot of hard wear. Many cars these days will hold up for two hundred thousand miles and even more. The tires mounted on the wheels are intended to make the car ride more smoothly. They also protect the steel wheels from the pavement and protect the pavement from the steel wheels. It would be impossible to have wheels made only of steel because they would tear up the streets and highways. Modern tires are no longer made of rubber but of nylon, which is tougher and longer lasting. Auto tires used to have inflated rubber inner tubes, but modern tires are tubeless.
