Pneumatic Tires
The majority of tires used in contemporary times are considered to be pneumatic tires. The utilization of rubber in tires enabled the creation of pneumatic tires which allowed for a much more comfortable ride. The world's contemporary transportation system depends entirely on pneumatic tires.

A pneumatic tire is a kind of tire made of durable rubber and filled with compressed air. Motorized vehicles including airplanes, motorcycles, buses, cars and trucks all use pneumatic tires. Wheeled vehicles that are not motorized, such as bicycles, also utilize pneumatic tires.

History
The tire began following the invention or iron bands used around wooden wheels. It wasn't until the mid-19th century that the use of solid rubber in the construction of tires. The very first patent for a successful pneumatic tire was issued in 1888 to Irishman John Dunlop who invented an inner-tube for a bicycle tire. This was when the term "pneumatic" began to describe tires.

Seven years after, in the year 1895, Andre and Edouard Michelin made pneumatic tires for an automobile in France. The company of the Michelin brothers was destined to become a top manufacturer of automobile tires. The first company in the US to produce tires was Goodyear Tire company established in 1898, followed by the Firestone Tire & Rubber company in the year 1900, the second company in the United States to produce tires.

Function
For the first part of the 20th century, pneumatic tires needed a rubber inner tube to hold the air pressure. Tires were constructed of toughened layers of cord or plies covered with rubber. The plies were laid on an angle or bias to strengthen it and to define the shape of the tire. These "bias ply" tires had a tread pattern for traction.

The modern radial tire has been constructed with plies that run across the body of the tire. They require no inner tube as the tire forms an airtight seal with the wheel. This was the Michelin's brother's creation in the year 1948. The tires did not become widely utilized until the late 1970s. Radial tires last longer and offer better fuel economy.
