Patented in 1915 by Arthur Savage in California. Michelin started building radial tires in 1946.
No, do not mix bias tires with radial tires.
Quite possibly. The radial tire was invented in the 1940's and became widely used in the US during the 1970's. Radial tires should not be confused with steel-belting which is used to strengthen the tread resistance to puncturing in both radial and the older bias-ply tires.

The very first radial tire designs were patented in 1915 by Arthur Savage in San Diego, California. This patent expired in 1946. Michelin researcher Marius Mignol developed the design and the Michelin X tire was first built in 1946 and the first truck tire in 1952.
Jacob Christian Hansen Ellehammer invented the first 3 cylinder radial internal combustion engine in 1904.
Invented in 1915 the first tires were unreliable due to material science having not figured out how to get the Rubber to bond To the Metal Wires the Re-inforcing belts had to be made of at the time. In the Late 1950s Michelin Tire company devised a way to coat or plate the wires with copper and copper will bond to the rubber that was available then. By the late 1970s Radial tires had become "THE" desirable tire and had become the normal tire new cars were delivered with.
