The inflatable rubber tire was invented in 1887 by Scottish engineer John Boyd Dunlop. He developed it primarily for his son’s tricycle, aiming to create a more comfortable ride. Dunlop's design utilized a hollow rubber tube, which significantly improved the performance of bicycles and eventually led to its widespread adoption in automobiles.

Why is tire made of rubber and not of steel?
Tyre is so smooth but steel is noy smooth and it can never smooth another reason steel may diffuse rapidly as compare to tyre Radial tyres may also have compoments of steel. Michelin, in 1946, made a revolution with their inovative series of «X» type tyres, which included a kind of «steel network» inside the rubber. This tyre was developed for the front-wheel-drive for the Citroen Traction limousines. Otherwise, the tradicional diagonal tyres would not survivelond in front-wheel drive cars.
What is advantage of tubeless tyres over radial tyres?
The tubeless tyres are safer than tubed tyres when it comes to punctures in the tread region. In the event of a nail hole or other small penetrations in the tread region, the air leakage is very slow and sometimes, not at all, as the rubber may make a seal around the penetrating object. In fact, on many occasions we have had nails and other foreign objects lodged in the tubeless tyres of our own personal cars and bikes and we have motored to safety and on to the tyrewallah to get it repaired in comfort. In place of the tube in a normal tyre, the tyre and the rim of the wheel form an air container in a tubeless tyre. To 'seal in the air', in this tyre-rim compartment, the inner wall of the tyre is throughly lined with an impermeable, air-tight membrane. The inner liner of the tubeless tyre is constructed of halo-butyl/chlorobutyl and other materials. This performs, in essence, the important chore of substantially reducing the permeation of air, as compared to the natural rubber inner liner, a function of which is why we use a butyl tube in a tubed tyre. A tubeless tyre also comes with a soft rubber chaffer, distinct from a rubberised fabric chaffer in a tubed tyre. This works as an all-round air seal between the tyre and rim. As there is no tube, and, hence, no tube valve, a specialised valve is employed for increasing/reducing the air pressure in a tubeless tyre. The valve (check out the line drawing to see how it mounts) sits on the tyre rim and is ingeniously sealed by a large high quality rubber seal which is easy to mount. Shashank
How was the first rubber sole created?
It was an off-shoot product from the Dunlop factory. Mr Dunlop, of course, being the man who invented the inflatable, vulcanised rubber bicycle tyre.

What did John Dunlop invent?
John Dunlop invented the pneumatic (inflatable) rubber tyre. Originally developed for his son's tricycle, the pneumatic tyre was later developed for commercial use in cars and larger vehicles.
Are aeroplane tires made of solid rubber or inflatable?
Solid.
What is the difference between front and rear tire?
front tyre is made up of rubber and rear tyre is made up of roobber.
What are the little spiky things on a bike tire?
You can find them on a car tyre too, especially new ones. The rubber tyre is made from almost liquid rubber which is forced into the tyre mould, The little spikes allow the rubber to completely fill the mould.
Which one would compress more a solid rubber bicycle or a inflated mountain bike tire?
A "solid rubber bicycle" wouldn't be particularly useful, so I assume that you actually mean a comparison between a solid and an inflated bicycle tire. Answer: It depends. An inflated tire of a very high pressure will compress less than a solid tyre made out of soft rubber. OTOH a hard rubber solid tyre will compress less than a low-pressure inflatable tyre.
When were the first rubber tire made?
Mr Dunlop made the first rubber tyre for his sons bike, as he wanted his son to win.
What happens to the rubber of a vehicles tire due to aging process?
The rubber a tyre is made from naturally has oils in them, as time goes by the oil dries out there for deteriorating the tyre, so as the tyre ages it dries out and cracks, let's in moisture, and the steel rings that are inside the tyre rust to as the moisture sets in.
Is tyre rubber cellular?
No.
What is basketballs made out of?
Basketballs are almost all made with the same materials. They have an inflatable rubber interior, which is then wrapped in layers of fiber. That's then covered rubber, synthetic composite, or the most common, leather.
What objects in your home are filled with air?
Balloons, inflatable mattresses, and beach balls are all objects typically filled with air in a home.
