Outline of tires
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to tires:
A tire (in American and Canadian English) or tyre (in British and Commonwealth English such as UK, Australia and New Zealand), is a ring-shaped covering that fits around a wheel rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance by providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock while keeping the wheel in close contact with the ground.
