Tyres are made of rubber. So, this is the correct spelling in this context as the first car were been used after 1905. I would agree if you were talking about an iron steam train wheel but we are not.

No. Read my copied link. You guys just couldn't leave well enough alone. You started calling the steel version tyres for no reason apart from possibly the fact that the French won the 100 years War.

It's bad enough with the intrusive R that you add to everything.

I am not English. As for the intrusive "r", That is more of a dialect issue and not a spelling problem. Not all English people speak using that r. This can be a problem in America, hillbillies speak with an intrusive r. Hope you get the idear.

I meant a hyper corrective"r".

The best way to settle this is to check with the major tire manufacturers and see how they spell it.

Oh, they all spell it tire. But a few weirdos from an increasingly irrelevant island probably know best.

Later doofus.

It's spelled, er spelt "shite".

Everyone should know how to either drive a woman to an uncontrollable, unbelievable orgasmic climax or give a man the perfect earth-shaking hummer (or in a perfect world, a person would know how to do both).

Is changing a car's oil/tires and building a fire on the list?

You certainly don't need to know how to do those things.

You just need to know how to get what you need and then what you want.
