Hi Lynn..
It's been "Tire" in Canada as long as I can remember and then there is "Canadian Tire Corporation",which has been around since the 50's and the Goodyear tire hand book from 1936 was a standard handbook in Canada,when tire loading for milk wagons and coal carts was critical as the weights by volume charts and lists in the back of the book atest..
As for speaking the Queens English,no we speak Canadian..pure unaccented English..as it was meant to be spoken...That is why so many foreign students come to our country..To learn English..with no accent..
We'll leave speaking the Queens English to y'all.....
