Lunar Roving Vehicle Tire

One item I had not previously seen at the Glenn Research Center's visitor center was a tire for a Lunar Roving Vehicle.

Made of piano wire with an internal bump stop frame, the tires provided the LRV most of the benefits of an Earthly rubber tire while still being compatible with the lunar surface.
