What is the history of tire development?
The earliest tires were made of wood, which can be seen from the ancient chariots in China and the gentry carriages abroad. \x0d\\x0d\ Later, when explorer Columbus explored the New World for the second time in 1493- 1496, he found a rubber ball played by local children, which surprised him. Later, he brought this wonderful thing back to the motherland. After several years, rubber was widely used, and the wheel gradually changed from wood to hard rubber. But at this time, the rubber tire is still solid, and it is still very uncomfortable and noisy to walk. \x0d\\x0d\ Until 1845, the Scottish civil engineer R. w. Thomson invented the second pneumatic tire in the world, and obtained a patent from the British government with the title of "Wheel Improvement for Carriage and other vehicles". The first pneumatic tire was born in February 10 of the same year. The first person to buy pneumatic tires was named Li Luo, a nobleman. The total price of the four tires is 44 pounds and 2 shillings. 1847, Scientific American magazine introduced Thomson's pneumatic tire, calling it an epoch-making improvement. However, Britain at that time paid too much attention to the traditional middle class. In order to protect cars and limit the development of steam cars, the speed of cars is limited to 2 miles per hour (about 3.2 kilometers) in urban areas and 4 miles per hour (about 6.4 kilometers) in suburbs. In this way, Thomson's invention has no market, and it is slowly forgotten by people. That is to say, Thomson's first tire revolution did not bring the same light as the sun to mankind, because the darkness that human beings should experience seems to be not over yet. \ x0d \ x0d \ but the sun will always come out, because people and everything need it. More than 40 years later, in 1888, Deng Lupu, an Irish doctor of medicine, obtained the patent of pneumatic tire. At that time, Johnny, the son of Mr. J·B· Deng Lupu, who was 10 years old, bought a three-wheeled bicycle, but because the tires at that time were all solid tires made of hard rubber, it was very uncomfortable to walk on the stone road. His son's complaint inspired Mr. Deng Lupu, so the pneumatic tire that had been forgotten for more than 40 years came out again. With the progress of the times, the pneumatic tire invented by Mr. Deng Lupu was quickly applied to bicycles and quickly entered the automobile field, making great contributions to the development of the world automobile industry. \x0d\ Early pneumatic tires used rubber-coated canvas as the carcass, because the longitudinal and transverse lines of the canvas crossed each other, and the lines rubbed against each other due to tire deformation when walking, which made the lines easily worn off. At this time, the tires can only run 200-300 kilometers. \x0d\\x0d\ 1903, Mr. J. F. Palmer invented twill textiles, which promoted the development of cross-ply tire and made its service life take a big step forward. Because the carcass of the fork will no longer be rubbed by the running of the tire, the cord is not easy to be worn off, so the service life is greatly prolonged. \ x0d \ x0d \ 1930 Michelin made the first tubeless tire; 1946, invented the world-famous radial tire. Michelin Tire Factory was a small agricultural machinery factory in clermont-ferrand in 1830, which was founded by Michelin's grandfather Babier and cousin Dobry. The birth of x0d radial tire indicates that the development of tire industry has entered a new era, which has initiated a new era in the history of tire development. Michelin Tire Factory has made outstanding contributions to the development of tire history in the world. Here is a brief biography of Michelin Tire Factory. \x0d\ Therefore, the development of tires has gone through a long process. In this long night, I don't know how many generations have paid hard work and superb wisdom for this.
