Damping the bounce of elastomeric tyres to eliminate the tendency of a machine, such as a loader fitted with the tyres to lope or bounce when carrying a load is achieved by filling the chamber 16 of tyre 14 of a wheel assembly 10 with a liquid, mounting an accumulator 18 to a rim, and controllably interconnecting the chamber and the accumulator. By controlling the rate of fluid flow between the closed chamber and the accumulator, the elastomeric tyre retains some resiliency while forcing the springs and shock absorbers of the machine to control the tendency for the machine to bounce or lope.
