Off road vehicle tyres can be partially filled with water for increased weight, traction and less side wall flex. Water can't compress so do not fill more than 50% or some thing with give(can't compress water). Not suitable for high speed or doing jumps. Great for front wheel drive vehicles on dirt road or mud, i.e drag racing.

What are car tires filled with?
they are filled up with regular air that our tires use but some cheaters in monster truck racing fill their tires up with water to make sure they land on all fours.
Why is air filled in tires?
Air is filled in tires to provide cushioning and support to the vehicle, improving ride comfort and stability. It also helps to distribute the weight of the vehicle evenly across the tire and prevents the wheel from coming in direct contact with the road surface, reducing wear and tear.
When a vehicle hydroplanes its tires?
When a vehicle hydroplanes, the friction the tires are against is something other than the roadway - typically, it's a layer of water between the tires and the roadway. As the water has much less resistance and friction than asphalt, the tires spin much more freely.
Water on the road can cause a vehicle to hydroplane?
Yes, combined with worn tires and vehicle speed.
Do tires have helium?
No, tires do not have helium. Tires are typically filled with compressed air, nitrogen, or a combination of both to maintain proper inflation and support the vehicle's weight. Helium is not used in tires because it is not as effective in maintaining proper tire pressure.
Why should you fill automobile tires with air not with water?
Water is way too heavy to put in tires, plus in the winter it will settle and freeze so your tires will be off balance. Also about the winter part, if you completely filled your tires with water and let the water freeze, the tires would explode, since water expands when it freezes.
Partial hydroplaning of the vehicle starts at around what speed?
It would depend on the weight of the vehicle, the vehicle's tires and the amount of water on the road.
When your vehicle loses contact withthe pavement and rides on a thin layer of water it is?
When your vehicle tires ride on a thin layer of water, it is called, "Hydroplaning".
Hydroplaning is when the vehicle tires ride on a layer of water above the roadway.?
True. The tires are not actually touching pavement, but touching water, Rather hard to stop suddenly.
Air filled tires are called?
Pneumatic tires.
Do they have Slime filled bike tires?
Bicycle tires have tubes, so you wouldn't have a tire filled with Slime. There are tubes pre-filled with Slime though.
Is it true Hydroplaning is when the vehicle tires ride on a layer of water above the roadway?
true
