How Was the First Car Tire Manufactured? – History and Evolution

The journey of car tires begins long before the invention of the automobile. The first tires were not air-filled but made from metal bands and leather or rubber used on carriages and wagons. It wasn’t until the late 19th century, with the invention of the air-filled tire and the discovery of the vulcanization process by Charles Goodyear, that modern car tires began to take shape. This video takes you through the history of tire manufacturing, showcasing how the early innovations laid the foundation for the high-performance tires we use today.
