tyre
Part of speech: noun
verb
Morphological type: simple
Etymology: Attested in the sense “rim of a wheel” since ca. 1500. Generally considered to be a use of Middle English tir(e), a clipped byform of atir (“equipment, furnishings, ornament”), whence modern attire. A less accepted theory derives it from the verb to tie. The spelling tyre was predominant in the 16th century, but largely gave way to tire in the 17th and 18th, before it was revived again outside North America in the 19th century.

Senses:
gloss: The ring-shaped protective covering around a wheel which is usually made of rubber or plastic composite and is either pneumatic or solid.
pos: noun
examples: pneumatic tyres
runflat tyres
gloss: The metal rim, or metal covering on a rim, of a (wooden or metal) wheel, usually of steel or formerly wrought iron, as found on (horse-drawn or railway) carriages and wagons and on locomotives.
pos: noun
examples: iron tyres for the coach and iron shoes for the horse
tyres and rails of steel, and every axle with roller bearings
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.
gloss: To fit tyres to (a vehicle).
pos: verb
tags: transitive
examples: The circular iron platform over there is used in the task of tyring the wheels, a warm job, too, by the way.
