Some fact about Tire

Invention and Application

Vulcanized rubber was invented by Charles Goodyear way back in 1844 and this was used to make tires later on.  John Dunlop invented air filled, or pneumatic tires in 1888 for bicycles, though his patent was later overturned in favor of another inventor, Robert Thompson.  However it was Andre Michelin in 1895 who first tried to use them on cars (without success).
The first successful car tire was invented by Philip Strauss in 1911 and sold through his company, the Hardman Tire & Rubber Company.

All Tires are Made from Rubber – Wrong!

Tires have been around for a lot longer than cars and bicycles, in fact the earliest efforts to use rubber tires grew from the perceived need to improve the original tires which were made from bands of iron and in later years, made from steel.  John Dunlop experimented with rubber tires for his son’s bicycle because riding on the metal tires caused him to have headaches, and remember this was in the time before any ideas about spring suspension had occurred.
