It takes 7 gallons to fill a entire tire!
A pneumatic tire has shock can absorb shocks better than a solid one.

An automobile tire (tyre) is made of some pretty durable synthetics and often has metal belting. Left in the sun for a couple of hundred years, it would begin to break down. Buried in a garbage dump, it might take thousands of years.
My schimatics show that it will take aproximately 4 to 8 weeks if not not longer to repair the minor fault in the tire tube drying alone. Labor may take 30 to 60 seconds depending on the mechanics IQ. Sources: 30 years in the tire patching industry.
you have to take off the 2 bolts on the side of the tire to take them off
Charles Goodyear did not invent the tire. Goodyear is credited with the development of vulcanized rubber. Indeed, when he developed vulcanized rubber, its intended use was not for tires. At the time, he trying to develop a stable rubber tube for use in inflating life preservers. In 1888, John Dunlop invented the first air-filled or pneumatic tire. It was used for bicycles. Phillip Strauss invented the first successful tire for the automobile in 1911. It was a combination tire with an air-filled inner tube.
Not very many. Most people who work in the profession know the dangers of overinflation a tire or working on a truck tire. They take safety precautions to prevent an explosion. But it does happen from time to time.
The time it takes to let air out of a tire depends on the size of the tire's valve and the pressure inside the tire. Generally, it can take a few seconds to a minute to fully deflate a tire.
