Hola
Tyre is the way we talk about the rubber around a wheel.
Tire is from the verb "to tire" so "I am tired" does not mean I have some rubber wrapped around me.

Tyre is a British variant of the English language word "tire".

Sorry Moe but "Tyre" is the "English" word. It is "Tire" which is an American English variant of our word.

.'Tyre? is the 'English? word. It is 'Tire? which is an American English variant of our word.

In Canada, although we stay closer to UK English, there is a lot of acceptance of the Americanization of words. It makes crossword puzzles interesting. Who created it, an American or a Brit.
