Goodyear designed the airless mesh "tires" that were used on the original Lunar Roving Vehicles used during the Apollo era and is further developing the idea.
A Goodyear spokesperson told Fox News Autos that a variety of metal alloy compositions are being developed that can retain their ductile properties at the -250 degrees temperatures that the vehicles will be subjected to, while also being able to hold up to heat above 250 degrees.
