John Boyd Dunlop was a Scottish veterinarian and the recognized inventor of the first practical pneumatic or inflatable tyre/tire. His patent was for a bicycle tire, granted in 1888. However, Robert William Thomson invented the actual first vulcanised rubber pneumatic tire. Thomson patented his pneumatic tire in 1845, his invention worked well but was to costly to catch on. Dunlop's tire patented in 1888 did, and so he received the most recognition.
Nothing, an automobile tire is a pneumatic tire.
It is popularly thought that John Dunlop, a Scot, invented the pneumatic tyre. However, another Scot by the name of Robert William Thomson from Stonehaven invented the pneumatic tyre some 43 years earlier.A noteand a fuller answerThis question isn't only asking about the inventor(s) of pneumatic tires! It just asks about "tires". The answer is that, long before pneumatic tires were invented, solid tires made of wood or iron were fitted to stone, wooden or metal wheels to make them last longer.The reason for fitting such tyres is that, if you don't have a separate tire, when its outside edges get chipped and worn away, the whole wheel - or maybe at least its rim - has to be replaced.So it is probable that tires were invented soon after wheels, because the people who invented wheels soon found out it was a good idea to have tires on them simply because because they can be replaced more easily when they get damaged or wear away.
A pneumatic tire has shock can absorb shocks better than a solid one.
