Cable going around winter tyre (4)
I believe the answer is:
wire
'cable' is the definition.
('wire' can be a synonym of 'cable')
'going around winter tyre' is the wordplay.
'going' becomes 'drawing' (drawing is a kind of going).
'around' says to take the centre.
'winter tyre' becomes 'ire' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
The middle letter of 'drawing' is 'w'.
'w'+'ire'='WIRE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wire that I've seen before include "Telegram about the fencing material" , "Cable" , "Hand signal; breaker" , "Thin drawn metal" , "Metal fastener" .)
