tyre

/taɪə(ɹ)/

意味（1）

The ring-shaped protective covering around a wheel which is usually made of rubber or plastic composite and is either pneumatic or solid.

意味（2）

The metal rim of a wheel, especially that of a railway vehicle.

It is also curious that whereas brake-blocks made of certain compositions (other than cast iron) offer improved coefficients of friction, their use can reduce adhesion, and thereby increase the liability to skid (doubtless by tending to polish the tyres) by as much as 20 per cent.
