But, it could not withstand the weather extremities.<\/p>\n<p>Charles <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/Goodyear-Car-Tyres\"><strong>Goodyear<\/strong><\/a> discovered vulcanised rubber in 1839, by adding sulphur, making it elastic and strong enough to be used as cushion tyres for cycles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-62\" src=\"https:\/\/tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/rubber-tyre-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"tyre industry\" width=\"150\" height=\"139\" hspace=\"15\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It was in 1845 that pneumatic wheels or air filled wheels were invented and patented by Robert William Thomson, a Scottish inventor. His design had multiple thin tubes inside a leather cover\u00a0so that the tyre could absorb shocks (see illustration) . But, it never really went into production due to its severe limitations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-61\" src=\"https:\/\/tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dunlop-tyre-pic-300x166.jpg\" alt=\"john boyd dunlop\" width=\"430\" height=\"239\" hspace=\"15\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dunlop-tyre-pic-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/dunlop-tyre-pic.jpg 301w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 430px) 100vw, 430px\" \/>However, in 1888, John Boyd Dunlop from Ireland, came up with the first practical pneumatic tyre which later became Dunlop tyres. He also tested the first pneumatic or air-filled tyres on a tricycle and took it for a spin. Pneumatic tyres gained their popularity due to the growing use of bicycles in the late 18th century.<\/p>\n<p>The Michelin brothers, Andr\u00e9 and \u00c9douard are those two legends in the history who invented the detachable pneumatic tyre in 1891, which could be used on automobiles. The tyre consisted of a tube bolted on to the rim.<\/p>\n<p>The process of making pneumatic rubber tyre underwent tremendous engineering advances for the next fifty years after its invention. During this period, automobiles were using different forms of bias-ply tyres. The bais-ply bias-ply tyre had an inner tube containing compressed pressure and an outer casing to protect the inner tube and offer traction. The outer casing was reinforced with plys of rubberized fabric cords.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Invention of Radial Tyres<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The radial tyres were developed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/Michelin-Car-Tyres\"><strong>Michelin<\/strong><\/a> in 1946 and became more popular than bias-ply tyre across Europe and Asia because of its ability to offer better handling and fuel efficiency. However, the adoption rate of the radial tyres in the US was particularly slow since it meant switching to a new suspension system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Indian Tyre Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In 1926, Dunlop Rubber Limited became the first company in India to set up a tyre company in West Bengal. The MRF (Madras Rubber Factory Limited) followed its footsteps and entered the tyre manufacturing market in 1946 although it ventured into manufacturing tread rubber in 1952.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tyremarket.com\/tyremantra\/top-10-tyre-companies-in-india-mrf-ceat-apollo-jk\/\"><strong>India Indian tyre industry<\/strong><\/a> employs as many as one million people including dealers, retraders, and growers of natural rubber.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Wikipedia, the word tyre has been derived from the French word tirer\u00a0meaning \u2018to pull\u2019.
