Most tyres, such as those for automobiles and bicycles, are pneumatically inflated structures.  These also provide a flexible cushion that absorbs shock as the tyre rolls over rough features on the surface.

Tyres provide a footprint, called a contact patch. It’s design stands to match the weight of the vehicle with the bearing strength of the surface that it rolls over. The actualization of this comes by providing a bearing pressure that will not deform the surface excessively.
