Best Answer

I believe Charles McIntosh experimented with latex to make tyres somewhere in the early 1800's. (Charles Goodyear was next when he added sulphur to latex which made it stronger and more flexible.) and if you mean the pneumatic tyre, then you probably mean John B Dunlop who was seeking a way to give a softer ride from his son's bicycle. That was in 1888, though he was beaten by Robert W Thomson apparently, who patented a pneumatic rubber tyre in 1845.
