Almost nobody does this before traveling: find out why you should put duct tape on your suitcase wheels

Travel experts recommend applying duct tape — preferably "duct tape" or self-fusing silicone tape — on suitcase wheels before traveling. According to Meteored, this simple gesture can reduce noise, protect wheels from wear caused by different floor surfaces, absorb vibrations, and improve grip on smooth or wet surfaces, such as those found in airports. The article warns that tape should be applied on clean, dry wheels, without excessive layers, and that regular adhesive tape and electrical tape are not suitable for this purpose.
