🛞 THROWBACK THURSDAY: BEFORE THERE WERE SUBARUS… THERE WERE TIRES! 🛞
Believe it or not, the modern air-filled tire dates back to 1888!
Scottish inventor John Boyd Dunlop developed a practical pneumatic tire after watching his young son struggle to ride his tricycle over bumpy roads. His solution? An air-filled rubber tire that provided a much smoother ride.
Dunlop's invention would go on to help revolutionize transportation and eventually become the foundation for the tires we rely on every day. 🚗💨
From a simple air-filled tire in 1888 to today's advanced Subaru tires designed to keep you safely on the road — that's quite a journey!
