Re: The MET had inflatable tires

The Apollo 14's MET had inflatable tires:

That was part of the problem: it was bouncing so much under the weaker gravity, it became a real nuisance.
But even the Rovers, with wires, bounced, and Irwin said he could become seasick...
I'm wondering about a large pressurized rover on the Moon (or even on Mars)...
Days and days of bouncing...
