Airplane tires are designed to withstand heavy loads for short periods and are made of specialized conductive rubber to absorb static electricity from friction with the runway. They are pressurized six times as much as car tires and are smaller to minimize weight, aiding in lift-off. Multiple small tires distribute the plane's load more stably. Airplane tires are regularly inspected and can go up to 400 landings before needing to be changed.
