4. Synonyms Tire, Fatigue, Weary, Jade. These words are primarily physical, and are in the order of strength. One may become tired simply by standing still, or fatigued by a little over-exertion. Fatigue suggests something of exhanstion or inability to continue exertion : as, fatigued with running. Weary implies protracted exertion or strain gradually wearing out one's strength. Jade implies the repetition of the same sort of exertion: as, a horse will become jaded sooner by driving on a dead level than if he occasionally has a hill to climb. All these words have a figurative application to the mind corresponding to their physical meaning. See fatigue, n., and wearisome.
5. n. The feeling of being tired; a sensation of physical or mental fatigue.
6. To draw; pull; drag.
7. To pull apart or to pieces; rend and devour; prey upon.

19. n. A continuous band of metal or other substance placed around a wheel to form the tread. The tire may serve to resist shock, or hold the wheel together, or reduce wear, etc. Metal tires were formerly made in sections and bolted to the wheel, but in modern practice the tire is always a continuous band, expanded by heat and shrunk on over the wheel, at once to compress it and to secure a firm hold. Tires of rubber are used for bicycles, and are protected by thin plates of iron, and similar tires are used for wheels of traction-engines, etc. Also tyre.
20. To put a tire upon; furnish with tires: as, to tire a wheel or a wagon. Also tyre.
21. n. See tier, 2.
