My comment may have been a little tongue-in-cheek reference to outdated /. humour. Anyway for the record Karl Benz first produced his Patent-Motorwagen in 1885 whereas the pneumatic tyre wasn't to be invented for another two years and even then in faraway Ireland. So in some some sense cars do predate tyres.
