Sorry i spelt Wheels* wrong

Becuase if they were square we would have to change the roads to inverted parabolas (or what ever the shape is called) to make the ride smooth. We actually figured this out in calculus class a few quarters ago. But it is possible to make square tires, youd just have to change the surface of the road.

You have wheels that are round. Tracks that rotate around several wheels and are oval shaped. Any other design would not roll evenly and would require way too much energy to turn them let alone producing an irregular ride. However the patent office is still open if you care to improve on the design.

There is no scientific explanation needed.
Circular wheels rotate easier and smoother than any other shape.

Because they roll... square wheels would clearly not roll now would they. a cricle is the only shape that will roll smoothly and evenly.
