In Australia it's spelled "tire" as far as I know. I've never really seen the spelling "tyre" used here before, hence invalidating the claim that any country that relies on British spelling all use the same spellings for words.

- chrisbroadfoot 14y agoHow long have you lived in Australia? I have never seen "tire" used here before.
- DigitalSea 14y agoI will openly admit in front of you all that I was wrong. I've lived in Australia all of my life, Queensland to be exact. I don't know what the hell I was thinking, I was almost convinced that it was spelled "tire" not "tyre" but you people are correct. No offence taken.
- tomflack 14y agoTwo questions (and I'm not trying to be snarky or aggressive here!) 1) Are you Australian? (sub question, were you born Australian?) 2) What state/territory do you live in? Because every state and territory I've lived in, it's been tyre. I've never seen tire used except by non-native speakers.
