Couldn’t you just slide the frame down the road without using big clumsy wheels? The cars would be a lot lower and you’d never get flat tires again.
They need wheels cause they use roads.
>>28900950then you'd have frame damage and cars wouldn't last more than 50 miles at best
>>28900950how are you meant to move without a powered wheel anyway? Are you going to put a jet engine or a mast and sails up or something?
>>289009504 wheels with tires combine stability, durability, low rolling resistance, low road noise, high traction, the ability to not destroy the road, and the ability to drive on almost all surfacespretty much any other form of traction will result in sacrificing something from that list. steel wheels require rails, wood wears too quickly, tank treads destroy the road, skis don’t work on concrete, two wheels are inherently unbalanced and unstable, etc. it’s the ideal solution to the problem when you consider all alternatives
>>28900967They could make the roads slippier and the smoke pipes on the back of cars would be able to propel them like a boat
>>28900950congrats you just reinvented the sled
>>28901134>combustion sleds Holy fucking based
