A well-known disadvantage of pneumatic tires is the cessation of the ability to work with mechanical damage through and determines the need to search for fundamentally new design solutions for wheels and tires to increase the safety and the survivability of wheeled vehicles. One such solution is the use of airless tires made of elastic polymeric materials. The Department of Mechanical Engineering and Transport of the Bratsk State University has developed full-scale models of wheels with airless tires made of elastic polyurethanes of Russian production and was done experimental studies of their ability to self-purify in the process of rolling on a moist soil surface. Research results may be claimed by manufacturers of automobiles and tractors, construction and road vehicles, special motor vehicles and wheeled planetary rovers
