Memory Tip
tire 前半部分读似中文‘胎’(tāi)，车胎（轮胎）就是 tire；想象四个轮胎并排，又记‘排、列’之意。
Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：车辆日常使用、汽车维修与保养、交通安全 名词 tire 最常见的义项是“轮胎/车胎”，在日常生活和车辆相关场景中为中性用语，正式与非正式场合都常用；其他义项较为少见，理解时通常优先按“轮胎”处理。
Pronunciation & Spelling
这些词都以 -ire 结尾，且重读元音和后面的音都与 tire /ˈtaɪɝ/ 相同，形成押韵：fire /ˈfaɪər/、wire /ˈwaɪər/、hire /ˈhaɪər/、mire /ˈmaɪər/、dire /ˈdaɪər/、spire /ˈspaɪər/。注意不要被拼写误导：tier 虽与 tire 只差字母顺序，但读作 /tɪr/，并不押韵。此外，英国英语把‘轮胎’写作 tyre，发音仍与 tire 相同。
