At the point where the tire contacts the ground, it's speed is
zero. 180° away, at the top, it is moving forward at twice the speed
of
the
car.

Negative - yer forgetting centripetal force.

? Negative what? Talking about a point on the surface of the tire, not
the
wheel as a whole. Centripital force has nothing to do with the forward
velocity of that point (how it travels in one axis).

Are you talking about a round tire or not
What other kind of tire is there?
. Sorry bud, can't make the
initial assumption that's been made -
I'm not your bud,. And what assumption are you talking about?
as it's on a tire, and yep, even
that point, at that time - has the centripetal force.

We aren't talking about the forces at work on the wheel or tire, we are
talking about the forward velocity. I can see this concept is lost on you.

There is no forward velocity - there *is* a change in angular momentum
though. Do you not understand that concept?
