This is common sound that all of us are well aware of now days. You can hear this sitting at your home, walking down a lane, studying in your classroom and even while working in your office. And if you are close to a road then this sound will become a part of your own voice. By this it means that this will background your own voice. But what exactly is this sound of? Well this is the sound of huge machines called automobiles. This may include a list of vehicles such as motorcycles, trucks, cars and others. These vehicles are used to travel from one place to the other. But have you ever wondered how these vehicles run on the roads. Well practically it looks very simple, as in, a wheel rotates and you move further on it. But to make the movement of the wheel efficient enough to travel long distances there is a special material developed known as a tyre. These are the ones that give the vehicle its actual rigid look. Along with the body, tyres play an important role in presenting sturdy looks to the vehicle. But what exactly is a tyre? What is it made up of? Well, it is something without which any vehicle just cannot move. So, let us find out some information on tyres, the thing that drives the world.



A tyre is also used to protect the inner wheel from all the wear and tear along with providing a high-friction bonding between the ground surface and the vehicle, thus improving the vehicle's acceleration and handling.

History of Tyres

History of tyres can be dated back to the 19th century. The invention of tyres came about with the invention of a process called 'vulcanisation', which is used in the manufacturing of tyres. The process was invented by Charles Goodyear in 1844. The first ever pneumatic tyre was patented in 1845, the following year, by a Scottish engineer Robert William Thomson. He named his patented tyre as the Aerial Wheel. Later many companies came up and many developments were made that gave us the tyre we are using today.
