Not really simple or easy

Tires are actually kind of an advanced technology and inventing an alternative that is less polluting but somehow equally durable and good at moving and stopping cars is not trivial

But yes we will need new tire material eventually or new technologies entirely like magnetic repulsion cars or whatnot
