Best Answer

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.
