Whenever I type tyre, I get criticized for it. Whenever I write tire, I get criticised for it. My organisation prefers "tyres". My old organization prefered "tires". (If you don't get what I'm hinting at, the British and the Americans spell things differently.)

In my opinion the correct spelling is Tyre in its Brittish sense, firstly because I come from Australia and we adhere to the English Dictionary. Therefore since America is still by law a Brittish Colony it is spelt Tyre. Britain is Mother to all of the Western world. http://rinf.com/news/oct05/roman.html For information on USA true deeds and titles!

Depends where youre from. In the Empire, its spelled tyre. Everywhere else, its tire. They do the same thing with a pottery shard, the Americans call it a sherd (in archeology).

It's all very tiring.

The original British spelling was tyre, but it is now spelled tire in both the U.S. and Canada. I think once Canada left the British empire they came to their senses. :)

Well i learned something new after reading other peoples answers but i would say tire but i also come from an english background.

You mean they forgot how to spell. Tire means to get tired as in a race,or exercising not a rubber ring on a car wheel

According to Merriam-Webster: Tyre- chiefly British variant of TIRE

I'm not sure because I'm not an English-as-a-natural-language-speaker, but I really think it is "tyre".

Tyre is a city in Lebanon pronounced (tiiree). Tire is attached to a wheel.
