John Boyd Dunlop
In 1895, André Michelin was the first person to use pneumatic tires. those make the ride smoother.
In 1888, a Scottish doctor John Dunlop invented and used the first pneumatic rubber tire on bicycles.
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".
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.
This is not known, The first tyres were iron bands around the outside of wagon and cart wheels. The first practical Pneumatic rubber tyre was built by John Boyd Dunlap in 1887
On 7th December 1888, John Dunlop invented the air-filled or pneumatic tires for his son and tested it in Cherryvale sports ground, South Belfast, Northern Ireland. A pneumatic tire is made of reinforced rubber and filled with compressed air; used on motor vehicles and bicycles etc. Pneumatic tires may be prone to punctures but are lighter than solid core tires and have more shock absorbency.
1895 - Michelin introduces pneumatic automobile tires (straight out of wikipedia) btw tires in those days were improved design from those used on bicycles not invented
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.
That is a way to repair tires, not a tire as such vulcanized rubber was invented by Charles Goodyear if that is what you are asking. The first practical rubber tire was made by John Dunlop.
