They are used for all the below reasons and have been around for quite a few years. They have resurge recently because of some new technology in the building of the tires like making them lowprofile. Probably the biggest reason for their use now is the attachments on the trailers and tractors that keep adding air to the tires if they get a slow leak even while they are traveling down the road. It made them more pactical to use. I went out on a road call last summer for one that had a drive tire blow out. The trailer was empty but he still was more in the ditch than on the road. Said he was running 55 but could not control the truck when the tire blew out. If he had been loaded he would have wrecked.
