tier 是本义最直接的对应词，现代英语通常拼作 tier；tire 在此义项中是较旧或变体拼写。多用于看台、阶层、等级等由下而上排列的语境。
row 强调横向排列的一排或一行，可用于座位、表格、文字等；不强调高低层级，与本义词的重合度低于 tier。
rank 侧重等级、地位或军衔，也可指横队；用于抽象‘等级’时与 tier 较接近，用于具体‘层’时不如 tier 自然。

易错句子My car has four tire.
正确表达My car has four tires.
英语可数名词跟在数词或 many、several 等之后必须用复数形式，所以 four 后面要用 tires。汉语名词本身不随数量变化（“四个轮胎”的“轮胎”不变），因此学习者常漏掉词尾的 -s。

易错句子I need to buy new tire for my car.
正确表达I need to buy a new tire for my car.
tire 是可数名词，单数形式前必须有冠词或限定词，这里泛指一条新轮胎要用不定冠词 a。汉语没有冠词这一词类，所以中国学习者容易把 a/the 整个省略。

易错句子My bike's tire is broken, so I have to fix it.
正确表达My bike's tire is flat, so I have to fix it.
表示轮胎没气、瘪了，英语固定用 flat（a flat tire / the tire is flat），不用 broken；broken 指东西断裂、破碎，与“轮胎漏气”这一意义不搭配。汉语“轮胎坏了”笼统对应“坏”，直译成 broken 就不地道。
tyre 与 tire 在表示“轮胎”时意思、读音完全相同，只是拼写不同：英式英语写 tyre，美式英语写 tire。但表示“围裙”“层、排”这些其他义项时，英式英语同样写 tire，不能写成 tyre。
tier 读 /tɪr/，是可数名词，指分层的“层、排”或按等级划分的“级别”，如座位的层、蛋糕的层、系统的层级；tire 读 /ˈtaɪɝ/，主要指“轮胎”。旧词典虽把“排、列、等级”列为 tire 的义项，但现代英语中表示这一意义时通常只用 tier，用 tire 会被视为拼写错误。
