Pneumatic tyres, tyres containing pressurised air, were invented in the nineteenth century. The first pneumatic tyres were made by a man named Robert William Thomson, from Stonehaven in Scotland, in 1846. He called them 'Aerial wheels' and fitted them to horse drawn carriages in London. The technology of the time couldn't produce rubber thin enough to make these tyres practicable, so he returned to using solid rubber tyres.
The first practical rubber tyres were developed in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1887 by John Boyd Dunlop; who made pneumatic tyres for bicycles.
The First tire was constructed in 1887 in May Street, Belfast by a Scottish inventor named John Boyd Dunlap.
The inventor was Robert William Thomson in 1847. The first commercial tire was obtained by john Boyd Dunlop in 1888.
Air fille bicycle tires were invented by John Dunlop.
In 1839 an American, Charles Goodyear, discovered a method to mqke rubber stronger, more elastic, and less sticky. In 1845 the first air-filled rubber tire was patented by Scottish inventor Robert W. Thomson, but it was not until 1888, when British inventor John Boyd Dunlop patented his tire design, that the rubber tire industry really started.
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.
who is the inventor
The first radial tire designs were patented in 1915 by Arthur W. Savage, a successful tire manufacturer and inventor in San Diego, CA. Savage's patents expired in 1949. The design was further developed and widely commercialized by Michelin in 1946.
