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.

John Dunlop invented the pneumatic (inflatable) rubber tyre. Originally developed for his son's tricycle, the pneumatic tyre was later developed for commercial use in cars and larger vehicles.
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.
