PLEASE NOTE: If you have come here to discuss the spelling of 'TIRE' versus 'TYRE' in this article: Please read the following statement before commenting: We have had a long (and often acrimonious) debate about the naming of this article - followed by consensus voting. The conclusion was that per the Wikipedia Manual of Style, we will follow the rule that when an article is started in one English variant (US English in this case), it should be kept in that variant unless there are overwhelming reasons not to. Historical spelling is not compelling enough to override that decision - and we knew about the historical issues when we visited this question the last time. Unless there is some sort of startling new evidence, we're not likely to be changing the title of the article. Note also that 'Tyre' is a rather important city in Lebanon (and is also the names of US towns in New York and Michigan) - so even if this article could be renamed, it would have to be called "Tyre (mechanical component)" (or something equally ugly) - so you'd STILL have to go through a redirect or disambiguation page to get here. At least this way, 'Tire' isn't a redirect or a dab - so we keep some people happy at the expense of nobody. (And just so you know that there is no bias in my position - I am a British-English native speaker who habitually writes 'tyre'.) SteveBaker (talk) 20:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This section says; '(t)here is a study 'under development' which aims to predict the interior noise due to the vibrations of a rolling tire…' yet, there's no citation, nothing, whatsoever to back this up.

Hi Deva1702, thank you for your good-faith efforts to improve Wikipedia. Typically, an article would benefit from an editor paraphrasing material from a reliable source—"published materials with a reliable publication process, authors who are regarded as authoritative in relation to the subject, or both". Generally, a blog like the one you supplied is not considered to be an example per WP:USERGENERATED. Also, the material contained in the website that you offered is already covered in the Tire#History section, supported by reliable sources.

So now, the question remains whether the link belongs in the "External links" section. WP:LINKSTOAVOID #1 says, "Any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article would contain if it became a featured article. In other words, the site should not merely repeat information that is already or should be in the article. Links for future improvement of the page can be placed on the article's talk page. See {{refideas}}." The website that you offered contains material that already is covered in the article, or if there were elements missing, should be in the article.

So, these are reasons why the link doesn't belong in the article. Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 16:25, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for the reason you mentioned, this will help me create valuable addition to any wikipedia page in future. Deva1702 (talk) 16:44, 9 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry to see this article propagating the common myth of nitrogen being used as an inflation gas "to minimize expansion and contraction". Nitrogen is used, esp. in aircraft tires to a) mitigate the fire/explosion hazard by inerting the tires and b) mitigate tire degradation by oxidation. Even the citation given in the article doesn't say anything about the desire to minimize expansion and contraction but DOES mention fire/explosion hazards and oxigen degradation. The fact that nitrogen inflation is only a requirement for "braked wheels" is also a giveaway as only these wheels experience temperatures high enough to constitute a fire/explosion hazard.

I've added a verification failed tag. 208.127.136.43 (talk) 08:52, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

When and where were foam filled tires first created ? 2601:407:C500:F0D0:CCA3:29C0:B571:8411 (talk) 19:19, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WP:TALK#PROPOSE tells us that "Talk pages are for discussing the article, not for general conversation about the article's subject (much less other subjects). Keep discussions focused on how to improve the article. Comments that are plainly irrelevant are subject to archiving or removal." Cheers, HopsonRoad (talk) 20:51, 7 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think we need to flip the units so that weight carrying capacity and speed are displayed in the SI units first. It appears those are the defining (rounded) units, as in 550 to 1,100 pounds (250 to 500 kg). What caught my attention was the speed rating 186 miles per hour (299 km/h), where the original number was 300 km/h and convert has given 299 km/h. Avi8tor (talk) 05:08, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
