Ah good to see the spelling police are back - thank you - Klavdy is correct!

Note: "TIRE" is not acceptable in English spelling as a round black rubber thing that fits on a wheel as it refers to the verb to tire i.e. get tired. Unfortunately we can only accept the spelling TYRE in this posting unless you are referring to the physiological state of your body due to lack of sleep (is it late in Seppostan?), too much exercise (doubtful) or boredom with something mundane and mentally unstimulating.

n.
1. A covering for a wheel, usually made of rubber reinforced with cords of nylon, fiberglass, or other material and filled with compressed air.
2. A hoop of metal or rubber fitted around a wheel

G'Day Matey, good to see another poster trying to teach the damn Seppos how to spell.

TYRE.

That is how it is spelt.
Our common language is called ENGLISH, not AMERICAN, for a reason.

interestingly enough,

CONVICT SCUM


Spells the same no matter where you are.

Ah yes if you are using the corrupted American English dictionary that may be so but to us purist English speakers and spellers and loyal subjects of HM the Queen from the antipodes - it's a TYRE.... :empathy: even if the Ozzies have a few colloquialsms that you may not find in any dictionary.

Have a bonzer cracker of a day cobber!
