O'NEILL National Geographic News With cars becoming smaller and lighter in the search better fuel economy, spare tires may disappear. . Dispensing with the fifth wheel and tire would save trunk space and weight. Observed one tire company official: Every pound that can be saved represents that much less work for the engine." Some autos now come with a deflated spare and a cylinder of compressed air It saves space, but is only an interim measure. Cars of the future may ride on foam-filled tires that when punctured could be driven another 50 or 100 miles to a service station without damaging either the tire or the wheel. The tire could be repaired and would be as good as new Flats Less Frequent For the present, however, motorists will still rely on that extra tire and wheel stored in or under the trunk. Yet most drivers today seldom need to make an emergency stop and jack up the car for a roadside tire change. Paved roads, better suspension, and more durable tires have pushed into the background the "Flats Fixed" signs that once adorned even the smallest gas station. Early motorists lacked even that aid. They fixed their own-nearly every time they climbed behind the wheel, the National Geographic says. Tires on the first automobiles were narrow, flimsy, and unstable. They leaked, collected nails, and often exploded. Drivers could expect at least one flat per trip, and standard equipment included three or four spare tires, a hand pump, and a portable vulcanizer for patching holes in torn rubber. Those tires of the early 1900s were good for an average of 50 miles. They were fastened onto the wheel rims with clamps The custom of a prospective car buyer kicking the tires probably started as a means of checking whether they were properly clamped and inflated. Tires Older Than Cars Robert Thompson, a Scottish engineer, devised inflatable tires Tor carriages in 1846. But his pneumatic tire, a rubber-coated canvas tube, was so given to blowouts that people went back to standard solid rubber tires. Forty-two years later, an Irish veterinarian was more successful. Dr John Boyd Dunlop's first air-filled tires went on his son's tricycle in 1888 and were made of rubber, covered with linen, nailed to the woden wheels. By 1896, pneumatic tires were being used on automobiles. Blowouts were common, and tire markers switched to heavier casings of fabric and rubber. Slick, muddy roads sent cars skidding into ditches, so treads were added to the tires. Years later, tubeless tires made the puncture-prone inner tube obsolete. Today, tough synthetic rubber is matched with nylon, steel, or fiberglass cords to create longer-lasting tires. One puncture-proof tire now used on some military vehicles consists of a rubber-impregnated steel mat containing some 80,000 steel wires. Not even rifle bullets can flatten it.
