The word "climb" is from the words climban and climben, which had long I sounds on their first syllables in Old to Middle English.

Tire noises like a warping sound are a result of it being out of round. This happens when the tire is unbalanced or the front end is out of alignment.
This was a function of the change from Old English (a written language). The vowel Y became widely used to represent the long I sound in Middle English. The Y lost its distinct sound, and words spelled with Y became spelled with I (e.g. gyldan - gild) and vice versa. In some cases, the Y remains in British English but not US English (tyre-tire).
