Wheels
Four is a suggestion until it isn't
Short answer
A car wants wheels. A missing one is a lurch. A ruined one is a walk.
Also: tires · tyres · spare wheel
How it works
Wheels, tyres, hubs — the game names them. This page will not become a fitting chart.
What to do
Check all four before you brag the engine. A jack and a spare is a later kindness.
Don't
Don't drive on rims as a bit.
