Honeycomb tires are solid, and you don't need to worry that the tire will blow up or get punctured.
Inflatable tires may have the risk of punctures or blowouts.
Inflatable tires are made up of an inner tube and an outer tire. The inner tube provides shock absorption and bounce. The outer tire protects the inner tube and provides traction. A puncture occurs when the inner tube is deflated. You can replace the inner tube and still use the outer tire.
