tyre
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Pronunciation: ipa: /taɪə(ɹ)/
rhymes: -aɪə(ɹ)
homophone: tier
homophone: tire
Forms: form: tyres
form: tire
Etymology: The Oxford English Dictionary suggests that the word derives from attire, while other sources suggest a connection with the verb to tie. George Sturt in The Wheelwright's Shop (1923) makes a case for the latter derivation in that the metal tyre ('tyer') pulled the wooden wagon wheel tightly together when it shrank after being fitted red-hot. The spelling tyre is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and most current and former Commonwealth nations after being revived in the 19th century. Both tyre and tire were used in the 15th and 16th centuries. The United States and Canada did not adopt the revival of tyre, and tire is the only spelling currently used there.
Senses: examples: text: pneumatic tyres
text: runflat tyres
glosses: The ring-shaped protective covering around a wheel which is usually made of rubber or plastic composite and is either pneumatic or solid.
examples: text: iron tyres for the coach and iron shoes for the horse
text: tyres and rails of steel, and every axle with roller bearings
text: It is also curious that whereas brake-blocks made of certain compositions (other than cast iron) offer improved coefficients of friction, their use can reduce adhesion, and thereby increase the liability to skid (doubtless by tending to polish the tyres) by as much as 20 per cent.
