A tire or tyre is a ring shaped vehicle component that covers the wheel’s rim to protect it and enable better vehicle performance. Most tyres, such as those for automobiles and bicycles provide traction between the vehicle and the road while providing a flexible cushion that absorbs shock.

The materials of modern pneumatic tires are synthetic rubber, natural rubber, fabric and wire, along with carbon black and other chemical compounds. They consist of a tread and body. The tread provides traction while the body provides containment for a quantity of compressed air. Before rubber was developed, the first versions of tyres were simply bands of metal that fitted around wooden wheels to prevent wear and tear. In earlier times, rubber tyres were solid (not pneumatic). Today the majority of tyres available in the market are pneumatic inflatable structures, comprising a doughnut shaped body of cords and wires encased in rubbers and generally filled with compressed air to form an inflatable cushion. Pneumatic tyres are used on many types of vehicles, including cars, bicycles, motorcycles, buses, trucks, heavy equipment and aircraft.

The earliest tyres were bands of leather, then iron, placed on wooden wheels, used on carts and wagons. The tyre would be heated on a forge fire, placed over the wheel and quenched, causing the metal to contract and fit tightly on the wheel. A skilled worker, known as a wheelwright would usually carry out this work. The outer ring served to ‘tie’ the wheel segments together for use, providing also a wear-resistant surface to the perimeter of the wheel. The word ‘tyre’ thus emerged as a variant spelling to refer to the metal bands used to tie tyres. Tyres have evolved over the past century and have become all the more effective for covering long distances.
