The first pneumatic tire was made by Scot John Boyd Dunlop to aid his son's cycling. His son often complained of headaches caused by the bumps in the road. But officially Robert William Thomson was given credit of inventing the idea of the tire. Tire companies began establishing in the beginning of twentieth century. Since then there has been rapid growth of tire manufacturers and the top three tire companies are said to have sixty percent of the global market share. More than four hundred tire companies produce over one billion tires every year.
