'Tyre' is slightly wider than 'Tire'. Conventional tire/tyre wisdom is
that wider is better, so I voted for Tyre.

Tar- The rubber thing your Uni/Car/Bike etc rides on. It helps if you
pronounce it as two syllables.

UniBrier - Its Time to Ride

Steve De Cuckoo

The Roadrunner or Ground Cuckoo can run at speeds of up to 15 miles per
hour (24 km per hour). It rarely flies and does not migrate. When it is
in danger, it runs or crouches to hide.

The RoadUnier or Cuckoo Cokier can ride at speeds of up to 15 miles per
hour (24 km per hour). It rarely flies and does not migrate. When it is
in danger it UPDs and slides.
