Explanation

John Boyd Dunlop developed the first practical pneumatic tyre in 1887 for his son's tricycle, originally to provide a more comfortable ride. Though Robert William Thomson had patented an earlier version, Dunlop's design became commercially successful and formed the basis of the Dunlop Rubber Company. MRF and Ceat are modern tyre manufacturers, not inventors.
