tiren.2

Brit. /ˈtʌɪə/, U.S. /ˈtaɪ(ə)r/
Forms: Middle English, 1600s, 1800s tyre, (1700s–1800s tier), 1600s– tire. See also tyre n.5
Etymology: Probably the same word as tire n.1, the tire being originally (sense 1) the ‘attire’, ‘clothing’, or ‘accoutrement’ of the wheel. From 15th to 17th centuries spelt (like tire n.1) tire and tyre indifferently. Before 1700 tyre became generally obsolete, and tire remained as the regular form, as it still does in America; but in Great Britain tyre was revived in the nineteenth cent. as the popular term for the rubber rim of bicycle, tricycle, carriage, or motor-car wheels, and is sometimes used for the steel tires of locomotive wheels. During the twentieth cent. tyre became standard in the British Isles.
†1. collective singular. The curved pieces of iron plate, called strakes or streaks, placed end to end or overlapping, with which cart and carriage wheels were formerly shod (now rarely used, and only for heavy agricultural vehicles, artillery carriages, etc.).

a. A rim of metal encompassing the wheel of a vehicle, consisting of a continuous circular hoop of iron or steel.Thomson's patent (quot. 1845) is known as the foundation of the pneumatic tire or tyre (sense 2b), and was largely cited in the great actions for infringement during the ‘tyre boom’. Thomson did not actually use the expression ‘elastic tire’ or ‘tyre’, but spoke of an ‘elastic band’ around the (iron) tire. This ‘band’ was however exactly what is now termed a ‘pneumatic tyre’—a distended inner tube with an outer cover or jacket. (H. V. Hopwood, Dep. Librarian, Patent Office Lib.)

In this sense now commonly spelt tyre in Great Britain (see tyre n.1); tire is retained in America.

tirev.1

Brit. /ˈtʌɪə/, U.S. /ˈtaɪ(ə)r/
Forms: α. Old English tiorian, teorian, Middle English teorien; Middle English tere. β. Old English (late) ( ge)tyrian; (Middle English ( a)tieren); Middle English tyere, Scottish tyr, Middle English–1700s tyre, 1500s tyar, Scottish tyir, 1500s–1600s tyer, tier, 1500s– tire.
Etymology: Old English tíorian, téorian (also with short io, eo (Sievers); in combination getíorian, getéorian; with umlaut (late) getýrian), also a-téorian, with umlaut a-tíerian, a-térian; also verbal noun tiurung ‘lassitudo’ (Gallée), and getéorung. As this verb does not appear in the cognate languages, it is difficult to determine its original form in Old English, and the phonetic relations between the Old English and Middle English forms, especially the origin and history of the current form tire (†tyre), which appears first in Scottish writers in the 15th cent. Prof. Sievers thinks that the various Old English and Middle English forms may be explained by the existence of an Old English *tíran transitive, beside tíorian (tiorian) intransitive, both formed from a Germanic verbal root *terh-; the sound-relations being similar to those between Old English fíras and feorh, féores (feores), from root *ferhw-.
