Less noise too.

Not so sure about it increasing the strenght of the metal, most likely it won't work that way, but getting rid of contact with the tire is a desirable feature, as a tire rubbing the aluminium will increase drag.
And even though I'm not sure it would also decrease noise, most likely it would. In some buildings, the ceiling shaped with many convex surfaces is used as a sound-deadening measure.
