Lifetime Tire May End
Need To Carry A Spare
By W ILLIAM J. 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.
