Question A question about what to call it...

I am writing a program...

And although this may sound like a stupid question... I need to know if there is a specific industry used name for a wheel and tire combination.

For clarification... We all know what a wheel is, and we all know what a tire is. But what do you call the wheel & tire combination? I am looking for a concise word, ten characters or less in length.

Wheel & Tire Assembly. 10 letters? WlTrAsmbly? (kidding). Rimz? Depending on the context, "wheel" alone might suffice.

As per FIA rules for this kinda stuff...

Wheel with no tire -> "rim"
Tire, no rim -> "tire" duh
Tire + rim -> "wheel"

If it works for F1, it works for me!
