A tire or 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. The word itself may be derived from the word "tie", referring to the outer steel ring part of a wooden cart wheel that ties the wood segments together.
