What is a "tire"?
A tire is a rubber covering that fits around a vehicle's wheel. It provides grip on the road, helping the vehicle stay in control while moving. Tires are filled with air to cushion the vehicle, which makes the ride smoother and reduces the impact from bumps or rough surfaces. They come in different sizes and types depending on the vehicle and driving conditions. Tires also help with braking by providing friction when the brakes are applied. Without tires, vehicles would not be able to move safely or efficiently.
