Tyres WTF are those ???

Hey you ever go to some website of some tire company to try to check them out and they have spelled Tires as Tyres ??? As far as I know, tires is the correct spelling ... unless I am completely wrong on this. This doesn't give me much confidence on that brand of tire when they can't even spell it right on their webpage. Is this some type of engrish spelling or something ???

Some european countries spell things a little bit differently, but it's still correct.

tyre = tire
colour = color
boot = trunk
bonnet = hood
rubber = eraser

That's the British spelling. Some of the Japanese, etc learned their English from them so they will also use that spelling.

Some Canadians will often use the British spelling too.

Doesn't mean a damn thing about how much they know about tires.

Most of the info I found was from Australia, so that explains it.
