What sort of “cycles” are you talking about? Bicycles? Motorcycles? Not enough context here. Sounds like some sort of regional usage to me. | |

While the spelling tyre is (historically recently) preferred in Britain, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, people from those countries are aware that the US and Canada use tire and would understand your meaning. Unless you've a style-guide to write to that insists on one form or the other, just write clear English in either of them. | |
