How it's used
Refers specifically to the tire or wheel assembly of a vehicle. While the character 軑 is technically correct, many people in Hong Kong use the English loanword 呔 or the character 胎 interchangeably in writing. It is almost exclusively used in the context of automotive maintenance or driving.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 呔, which is the common way to write the loanword for 'tire' in casual text, or the word for 'tie' as in necktie.
