The History of Tyres
Tyres have been around ever since the invention of the automobile. The circular shape alone has come into play in a number of historical inventions in actioning movement. Wood was the first tyre material used with leather being added later for a softer ride. Successively, rubber replaced leather. The first rubber tyre was solid. The first tyres filled with air were rubber tyres fitted to metal wheels in 1888. Natural rubber became an available substitute in the 1930s to increase tyre production. Following, was a method of research, trial and error that we still use today.
Technological advancements have seen the stylised tyres, racing tyres, everyday tyres and vehicle-specific tyres that we know today test the boundaries. Every day we are looking at newer and better ways to improve driving performance and safety. There is an endless selection of tyres today. Therefore, today you have a large number of choices to reflect your driving habits, vehicle and driving conditions.
