Definitions and meaning of tyre

tyre

Etymology 1

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.
