No the tennis balls slide better on hard floors. The rubber feet are usually still under the tennis balls.
Source: I had old relatives who lived in nursing homes with these. They got the tennis balls on day one with the walker.

Source: Had a grandma with a walker and I had to buy special tennis balls for her. RIP Grammy
