Best Answer

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 which could be replaced when they wore out.

Well before pneumatic tires were invented, tires made of wood or iron were fitted to stone, wooden or metal wheels to make them last longer. If you don't have a separate tire, the whole wheel has to be replaced when its outside edges get chipped and worn away.

If this question is asking about pneumatic tires then search for questions and answers about pneumatic tires, not just "tires".
