Is it tire or tyre?
Ultimately, tire and tyre represent geographical differences in spelling rather than any functional distinction. Tire is the preferred term in American English, while tyre is favored in British English and in many Commonwealth countries. Apart from structure (radial or diagonal), size and profile, tyres can also be distinguished by whether they are TT (tube type) or TL (tube less) tyres. In this case, the former features an inner tube while the latter does not.
Where is Tyre in the Bible located today?
The biblical city of Tyre and the modern city of Tyre are the same. Tyre is located in the modern nation of Lebanon. It is 50 miles (80 km) south of Lebanon’s capital city, Beirut. From a Biblical perspective, Tyre is about 105 miles (165 km) north of Jerusalem. Tyre is a city in Lebanon, and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It was one of the earliest Phoenician metropolises and the legendary birthplace of Europa, her brothers Cadmus and Phoenix, and Carthage’s founder Dido (Elissa).
