Yeah, but weren't they baked-on solid rubber, so you'd have to use the wheel too? Linda

The rubber tire was invented in 1846, the first practical one (for a bicycle) 
was made in 1887, and iron or steel tires were in use as far back as the 15th 
century. As the Wright brothers, who made bicycles, flew their plane in 1903, 
I figured there must have been tires back then.
