The MET has two smooth, nitrogen-filled rubber tires. A
certain amount of pressure is applied to the lunar surface
when the MET is loaded. The fine line along the middle of the
track was formed by the tire mold mark. The crew reported that
the depth of the tracks varied from 1 to 2 centimeters, which
is consistent with the applied loads.

Goodyear even made history by developing the first tires on
the moon, when Apollo 14’s MET (Modularized Equipment
Transporter) was shod with Goodyear’s XLT Tires in 1970.
