an moderately overinflated tyre would not burst, it will cause poor grip and a stiff ride it would take a deliberate act to blow a tyre by overinflation, The main cause of blow-outs (as opposed to puntures) is drastic under-inflation, what happens is the tyre is flattened more than it is designed to be, and as the tyre rotates, the flat area is rotated around the tyre as the wheel turns (as obviously it is only flat where it is in contact with the road) and it is this rapid flexing which increases the faster the wheels turn, that causes the tyre to heat up beyond it's design capabilities and it starts to break down resulting in a blowout, obviously, the warmer the weather, the chance of the tyre heating to beyond it's capability is increased.

Why the tire of an automobile is inflated to slightly lesser pressure in summer than in winter?

During summer season there is an increase in temperature,which causes expansion of almost every substance.In case of gases they do expand as well,due to temp.So pressure in tyres is kept low so that if in case the gases expand,tyres don`t burst.

Who is the inventor of the tire?

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.
