Definition and Context
In the context of the Bible, "tires" refers to ornamental headgear or headdresses, often used to denote beauty, status, or religious significance. The term is derived from the Hebrew word "pe'er," which can mean a turban or a form of decorative head covering. These items were commonly worn in ancient Near Eastern cultures, including among the Israelites, and are mentioned in various biblical passages.

Biblical References
The concept of tires is mentioned in several passages, often in the context of adornment and beauty. In Isaiah 3:18-20 , the prophet Isaiah speaks of the judgment that will come upon the daughters of Zion, listing various items of adornment that will be taken away, including "headbands" and "crescents," which are understood to be types of ornamental headgear or tires:
"In that day the Lord will take away the finery of their anklets and headbands and crescents, the pendants, bracelets, and veils, the headdresses, ankle chains, and sashes, the perfume bottles and charms."

Ezekiel 24:17 also makes mention of a turban or tire in the context of mourning practices:
"Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Keep your turban fastened and your sandals on your feet; do not cover your mustache or eat the bread of mourners."

Cultural and Religious Significance
In ancient Israelite culture, tires or headdresses were not merely decorative but often held cultural and religious significance. They could signify one's social status, marital status, or role within religious practices. For example, priests wore specific headgear as part of their sacred garments, as outlined in Exodus 28:4 :
"These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests."

Symbolism and Interpretation
In prophetic literature, the removal of tires or headdresses often symbolizes humiliation, loss of status, or divine judgment. The adornments that once signified beauty and honor become symbols of pride and vanity that God will strip away as a form of punishment or purification. This is evident in the aforementioned passage from Isaiah, where the removal of such items is part of God's judgment on the prideful daughters of Zion.

Conclusion
While the Bible does not provide extensive details on the specific styles or materials of tires, their mention in Scripture highlights their importance in ancient society as symbols of beauty, status, and religious identity. The biblical narrative often uses the imagery of adornment, including tires, to convey deeper spiritual truths about humility, judgment, and the transient nature of earthly beauty.Tires

Or "little moons," are thought to have been ornaments of the neck, worn not by women only, Isaiah 3:18, but by men, and even on the necks of camels, Jud 8:21,26. Some supposed the tire, in Ezekiel 24:17, was an ornamented headdress.

"To tire" the head is to adorn it (2 Kings 9:30). As a noun the word is derived from "tiara," and is the rendering of the Hebrews p'er, a "turban" or an ornament for the head (Ezek. 24:17; R.V., "headtire;24:23). In Isaiah 3:18 the word saharonim is rendered "round tires like the moon," and in Judges 8:21, 26 "ornaments," but in both cases "crescents" in the Revised Version. TIRES, ROUND

tirz: Small ornaments in the shape of crescents (Isaiah 3:18 King James Version, Revised Version "crescents").
