It is an actual thing that was built.

Thou seest me rolling, thou'rt hating.

I hear how terrible synthetic-ruber tires (read: all modern tires) are for the environment, and I've wondered why we can't do this? If we made the cars lighter and used very good shocks? Or bikes even - they are all rubber too.

Those tyres have basically no grip relative to rubber tyres, they would be a nightmare to drive.

In this implementation, the turning radius is also atrocious, to the point where most crossroads would become complicated multipoint maneuvers. The speedometer would be wrong too (unless switched to km/h to compensate for the ~1.6x factor) but going above half the speed limit is a death wish anyway.

You spelled "tires" wrong.

And before you say it's a regional difference, American native English speakers outnumber the next 3 countries combined, and none of them are England (which is 5th). Which means that the way we do it is the correct one.
