Tires have evolved dramatically over the past century—from simple rubber rings to today’s smart, eco-friendly designs. Understanding this evolution helps drivers appreciate the technology behind every safe journey.
At Algari Wheels, we bring global tire innovations to Kenya—ensuring you always have access to the latest designs.
The Early Days of Tire Manufacturing
The earliest tires were made of solid rubber, offering poor comfort and grip. Pneumatic (air-filled) tires revolutionized driving comfort.

Today’s Tire Technology
Eco-Friendly Tires – Low rolling resistance reduces fuel use.
Run-Flat Tires – Allow you to keep driving after a puncture.
Smart Tires – Sensors monitor air pressure, temperature, and tread wear in real time.
EV-Specific Tires – Designed for electric vehicles with higher torque.
BlackCircles.ca predicts even more innovation for electric vehicles in the coming years.
