It's okay, these concepts are frequently conflated. For example when it comes to cars, it is advised to put on "winter tires", but people usually keep an entire set of 4 tires+rims so that they change the wheels instead of the tires.
So for most automobiles, the tire (tyre) can be detached from the rim, which can be detached from the wheel hub, which encloses the wheel bearing, which is generally friction fitted to the axle (or steering knuckle/hub carrier).
Or said another way, both the tire and rim are subassemblies of the wheel, which is also constituted of a wheel bearing and hub. Some manner of brake is also generally attached to the wheel, but is not essential to the definition of a wheel.
Bicycles wheels are generally packaged along with the axle, which can be removed as one subassembly from the bike fork.
Of course the great problem with pedantry is that once you start down this road, each following step must be taken with great care. In other words, I've almost certainly said something wrong here, Muphry be praised.
What is the most technically correct definition of the "RJ45" connector that you can construct? Something something 8P8C EIA/TIA standard UTP termination something something.

I know many people find pedantry to be viscerally repulsive, and feel that the pedant is acting self-important. I disagree with this because if you look deeper down, I think there is a reason for it: To be able to name and distinguish things. Let me give a few examples:
Some people think it's okay to abbreviate kilometres as "kms", whereas the standard is "km". By analogy, that would mean it's okay to abbreviate watts (a unit of power) as "Ws" and newtons (a unit of force) as "Ns". But now you can't distinguish them from actually useful units, like the watt-second for photographic flash output energy or newton-second for rocket impulse.
I've encountered people who call a laptop computer as a "laptop" (okay) but a desktop computer as just "computer". That makes no sense, as a laptop is a computer, and can easily be a desktop replacement especially if you attach an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
These days, it's common to ask "Do you want to buy the game disc or get the digital version?". But that's a misnomer because the data on the disc is digital! Ask anyone from the cassette vs. CD days about whether CD is digital music or not. Common speech ascribes qualities to digital that are not inherent in the definition. Digital does not imply electronic, high-tech, new, or immaterial; there are counterexamples to all of these. There can be digital logic made of plastic mechanical LEGO; digital signaling is as low-tech as a man writing numbers on a tablet; digital is as old as DNA (a 4-symbol code); digital information can be transmitted by physical objects like CDs or by energy like Wi-Fi radio waves.
I argue that the core qualities of "digital" are finite information and perfect copies. For example, you cannot measure the real-valued positions of every single atom in a painting, nor can you copy it perfectly. Technically, you can't copy every atom on a "digital" CD either, but by convention we all agree that the exact atoms are irrelevant and only the high-level interpretation is important. For example, no one argues that a file on a server's hard disk is any "better" than the same file transmitted over the Internet to some rando's flash drive; both files are equally good.
Pedantry means "pay attention to what these words are supposed to mean, not what you want them to mean".
I don't think that's really a misnomer.
You're ordering some food, do you want the combo or the sandwich? The combo has the sandwich of course, nobody is implying otherwise. But if you say "the sandwich" then you get just the sandwich wrapped up in a delivery medium.
Don't know whether your spelling was intentional or not, but anyway:

Edit: I just saw this one for the first time, after re-reading the one above:
Yhprum's law:
Needless to say, you save more money if you change the wheels over yourself. That's a 45 minute job for me, including finding the tools and putting them away.
I eventually got a whole new set of tires+wheels and the shop still swaps them for free.
Depending on where you drive, it's a good idea to rebalance your tires on a regular basis anyway.
Incidentally, my tire shop said they've had people lose the balancing weights due to the current adhesive not being able to handle the heat this summer. Hopefully they switch to something stronger next year, but it looks like you may have to rebalance twice per summer...
I have found the cheapest and most convenient solution for me is to buy high-end studless snow rated tires with a mileage warranty and run them all year.
As for the time, I consider it an opportunity to have a look at the brakes and suspension, make sure the lug nuts are torqued appropriately, and that the wheel comes free without undue force. And it's practice for having to change a wheel at a time not of your choosing. If you're used to doing it, it's an irritation, not an emergency.
I'll admit to only having one honest-to-god pull-over-to-the side-of-the-road-and-get-out-the-jack flat tire in my life. I guess I've changed a couple for other people too though.
The rubber and tread patterns are getting more feasible for year-round running. I can't fault your choice, especially if you've done the changeover yourself in the past.
In Italy Norauto charges 11€ for tires (17"), 10.50€ for wheels [2]
Other countries show higher differences, though.
