"There are many types of car tire."
"There are many kinds of car tire."
"There are many sizes of car tire."

The first two sentences is good English. But for the third sentence, should "tire" be singular or plural? A size is not really a type or a kind.

Re: Kind of Tire

So, "there are many sizes of car tire." is wrong, and only "there are many sizes of car tires." is correct?
