It’s worth noting that due to brilliant design decisions, the only way to put different tires on it is to replace the whole wheel. edit: apparently this part was not correct, my apologies for the misinformation

Oh okay. So when getting a new tyre to replace an old one, that's the same as a bike, then?

But I think it's still probably right to say that "wheel" would be more accurate when referring to your "spare tyre", wouldn't it? And probably also when talking about rotating tyres?

    Yeah the rubber part gets replaced.

    Correct the spare tyre is the wheel+tyre as you can't just swap the tyre on your own. And yeah rotating is just moving wheel+tyre to a new position on the car so the tyre gets a different wear pattern which helps it last longer.
