Don't rake about too much, you may leave a trail.

Ain't "tyred" more appropriate?

Depends on which side of the road you drive on.

I think this might be an internet "first". Bf 109 v. Spitfire tailwheel. I hear keyboard warriors worldwide, typing furiously.

Obviously, the Spitfire wheel dragged more elegantly than the others, and with panache, from the start of the war to the end, over land and sea. In an epoch making era for tailwheels the Spitfire tail wheel stands rim and spindle above or below all others.
