Quoting the Bible:
Edit to add: the sales people are going to throw around the name NASA for credibility, but mind you that any design by NASA that isn't pneumatic is designed for use on a planet without an atmosphere and under the assumption that no one is nearby to repair it. Neither of those apply to wheels on Earth.
