I mean, how are you supposed to ride on it?
But, without a doubt, the best type to combine with Fire would be Fire/Dragon with Levitate. I think I'm going to add this to my "invent a pokemon" thread.
I remember watchin Ash ride his Ponyta/Rapadash in that race episode when I was little and this convinced me that fire didn't burn human beings at the time lol....

I would help against Bug and Steel-types, but Fire/Dragon or even Fire/Grass are better.

Right, because every single Pokemon comes with Wonder Guard.

Type comparison isn't everything. Honestly, by your reasoning, Sableye and Spiritomb would have to be the best Pokemon in the game. Pokemon with severe 4x weaknesses are still used in competitive battling, such as the Dragons, Celebi, & Tyranitar. Normal-types only have one weakness and even have an immunity, but you rarely see them aside from a select few. Stats matter. Movepool even matters in a majority of cases. Types may matter some, but not as much as those two.

It's the same with Fire. Their lack of usage can be traced not to their typing but their stats and usable moves. However, some of the more versatile Fire-types, namely Charizard, Heatran, and the aforementioned Infernape still see use in competitive environments.

It's still a bad type to have, and an awful one in other terms IMO.

Yes, the Stealth Rock weakness is a definite negative (although obviously not too important, otherwise we'd have Ho-oh in OU for its 4x SR weakness). But, when you think about it, Fire is a decent offensive type to have, especially with the likes of Metagross, Jirachi, and Scizor (to name a few) hanging around. Besides, as far as type coverage goes (to use your point), it's actually on-par with Water, a common attack type.

And, of course, I'm not even counting Will-O-Wisp.
