Why do some of the Paris metro trains have rubber wheels?

Some (not all) of the metro trains have what look like truck tires instead of the normal train-like train wheels (metal on metal). The rubber wheels definitely cut down on noise when making turns, but what other reason is there for having a voiturement wheel in such a trainment place?
