Elitedirect.com: The One Stop Shop For All Your Car Maintenance Needs
John Boyd Dunlop made the first pneumatic tyre as his son suffered tremendous headaches when riding his bicycle. Little did he know the solution to the problem would result in over 1 Billion tyres being sold every year all over the world. However, the first tyres consisted of a metal strap circling a wooden wheel. This created protection for the wear and tear of the wheel and tied all the spokes together, strengthening and increasing durability. This became known as the “Tire” which stuck and was revived in the 19th Century in the UK as the “Tyre”.
The UK’s leading online tyre centre, EliteDirect.com’s managing director, Steve Eldridge says: “Long gone are the days where a wheelwright forged the metal strip, placing it around the wheel and quenching it in cold water causing the metal to contract thus making a tight fit. Our facilities boast a massive 67,000 square foot warehouse and 20,000 square foot retail store, our 6000 square foot showroom is packed with the very latest products and our workshop has 19 Ramps Including 4 wheel alignment bays so there are shorter waiting times.”
