Wheels are too narrow for the rocky terrain and would wreck quickly.

“Wheels are too narrow for the rocky terrain and would wreck quickly.”

Not just that, those airless tires might have some give and cushion here on earth weighing at 300 lbs, but on the Moon weighing only 50 lbs they are going to be as hard as concrete. May as well just make the rims all solid without the tires because there will be no difference anyhow.

Just send them up some Segways with modified lunar wheels and all carbon frame components.
