In one hundred years the basic principles of a tyre have not changed. 1920: Definition: "The pneumatic Tyre is designed to provide a flexible cover with an impermeable lining to contain and restrain the compressed air. This cover provided with a rubber tread portion is designed to withstand the cutting and abrasive wear of road contact." When it comes to automotive machinery/motor vehicles and the equipment that is used to fit tyres, this is where we have seen the most innovation and the most technological changes. As you can see by this photo, a long time ago tyre's cost 30 shillings each (converted today = $3.00 each) There is one thing however that has not changed over the years and Peel Tyre Service prides itself on it "Old fashioned service, and detail to customer care."
