Tyres and Limousine Hire

At Bayside Limousines, we’re justifiably proud of our fleet.

There are some very different vehicles in it but whether you’re considering limousine hire Sydney, Melbourne or anywhere else, you’ll see all our vehicles have one thing in common – tyres!

So, where did the tyre (or tire) come from?

A logical progression

For centuries, people had put things onto the outside of wooden cartwheel rims to try and make them quieter, more comfortable or most commonly, able to last longer on the poor roads. Originally those coverings were leather but later became iron.

The process of fixing those bands in English was called creating “attire”, as in dressing the wheel.

The Scottish dimension

Solid rubber began to be used for some rims in the 19th century.

Incredibly, it was as early as the 1840s that a Scot, Robert William Thomson, patented the world’s first design for a pneumatic tyre but this never went into production.
