In 1888, the idea of a pneumatic tire arose again. The new inventor was the Scotsman John Dunlop, whose name is known in the world as the author of the pneumatic tire. JB Dunlop had the idea in 1887 to put wide hoops made from garden hoses on the wheel of his 10-year-old son's tricycle and fill them with air. On July 23, 1888, J. B. Dunlop was granted patent No. 10607 for an invention, and the priority for the use of a "pneumatic hoop" for vehicles was confirmed by the following patent dated August 31 of the same year. The rubber chamber was attached to the lunch of a metal wheel with spokes, wrapping it together with the rim of a rubberized canvas that creates the carcass of the tire, in the intervals between the spokes. The advantages of the pneumatic tire were appreciated soon enough. As early as June 1889, William Hume raced a bicycle with pneumatic tires at the stadium in Belfast. And although Hume was described as an average rider, he won all three races in which he participated. The commercial development of the invention began with the formation of a small company in Dublin in late 1889 called the Pneumatic Tire and Booth Bicycle Agency. Today, Dunlop is one of the largest tire manufacturers in the world.
