Tire or Tyre?

 

The word originally came from the concept of the outer metal ring being used to “tie” the wheel together, and from this emerged the word, “tire”.  For some time the British used a variation on the spelling to differentiate a “tyre” from the verb, to tire but the US spelling has always been “tire” and today, our British cousins are finally starting to follow suit.

Tyre is also the name of an ancient city in what is present-day Lebanon and it still exists today but it has nothing to do with rubber wheels.
