I'm thinking that bicycles may not be a really good analogy to car tires in
that the inflated tires serve different purposes.
Am I wrong to believe
that one CAN ride a bike on the tireless rims?
If so, the tires basically
soften the ride
The analogy as I understand it is that the spokes are like the
sidewalls--leaving only the tread to be like the bike tire (or is it just
the wheel rim?) The tension in the sidewalls is due to the inflation
whereas the inflation of the bike tire doesn't effect the spoke tension.
Is all that correct?
