Aashenfox Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 ...I actually prefer tire to tyre. Now that I am used to both, the american use just seems more sensible to me. Please don't misunderstand, I think that they mostly bastardised (note S not Z) our language, just not in that particular instance. Yes but in good old British English, "Tire" means to feel sleepy or in need of sleep or to have lost interest in something whereas "Tyre" is a rubber object surrounding a wheel (alloy or steel) which vehicles run upon. As this is a UK site we prefer the correct spelling whenever possible. No offence intended. Sir, yes, sir /Yankee salute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
