Same time a wrench became a spanner, a fender a wing, a hood a bonnet, a tach a rev counter, etc. All depends on what side of the pond you're at.

Yeah, a tyre is fitted to a rim but you will tire pretty quickly pushing your car uphill!

 

[pooch]

Yeh it is tyre in all the civilsed world as we know it.....

You should not "criticise" British spelling.

 

[Mart]

It's always been tyre. Can't help it if you've been spelling it wrong.

It's a worldwide forum, embrace the diversity.

Does your tyre go in the boot, or does your tire go in the trunk?

 

[RKS.PA]

John, my foot goes in the "boot", and some of us wonder why "English" is such a hard language to learn!!

Agree with you, Mart!! Love the diversity and the worldwide forum!!

Up where I live a boot could be confused with "about".
Just saying.
