"Pneumatic" is a Greek term for "spirit". "Pneuma" translates to something that is filled with air. Nearly all tires you utilize or see these days are more than likely pneumatic tires. In fact, the majority of modern commercial transportation and private transportation could not work without pneumatic tires. Pneumatic tires as defined by Webster's on line dictionary are described as tires which are constructed from reinforced rubber, which hold compressed air. Any type of tire which requires air pressure to hold its form is considered to be a pneumatic tire. John Boyd Dunlop, the Irish surgeon has been credited to inventing the pneumatic tire. He developed the first practical pneumatic bicycle tire in eighteen eighty eight. In eighteen ninety five, the Michelin brothers Édouard and André, the Michelin brothers were the first to utilize pneumatic tires on a car during a race. Pneumatic tires are made up of bands of corded or plys fabric. These plys are coated with rubber in order to hold air pressure. Bias ply tires have the plys overlaid at a specific angle to the other layers. Radial tires have all plys laid at ninety degrees to the tire body or casing. Tube tires are a type of tire that requires a rubber inner tube to hold the air pressure. Motorcycle tires on spoke rims, bicycle tires and older bias ply truck and car tires utilize inner tubes. Tubeless tires have a stiff bead on the edges of the sidewall which creates an airtight seal with the wheel. This kind of tire does not require an inner tube.
