Note: The iron tire of a wagon wheel or cart wheel binds the
fellies together. The tire of a locomotive or
railroad-car wheel is a heavy hoop of iron or steel
shrunk tightly upon an iron central part. The wheel of
a bicycle or road vehicle (automobile, motorcyle,
truck) has a tire of rubber, which is typically hollow
inside and inflated with air to lessen the shocks from
bumps on uneven roads.
