[OSM-talk] tagging tyre/tire services?

2009-06-09 Thread Gleb Smirnoff
  Hi!

  Didn't find in Map Features page how to tag a service that
can mount, unmount and repair motorcar tyres. This is a quite
important POI for a car traveller.

Looking at tagwatch, I've found a small usage of service=tire,
55 instances in Europe.

Let's define an official tag for this and document it in Map Features
page. An advice from native English speakers is required:

which word is better for tag key: service or shop? 
which word is correct for tag value: tire or tyre?

service=tyre I think would be the better choice out of those options.

How about amenity=tire_repair along the lines of amenity=fuel,
amenity=recycling ?

We can then have further tags to identify what kind of tires are serviced
(bicycle tires, motorcycle tires, car/larger vehicle tires).
