Lose steam (4)

I think it could be either:

flag

tire

(Other definitions for tire that I've seen before include "Flag" , "Wear out" , "Become fatigued" , "Grow weary of rithe" , "Become exhausted" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, the LA Times, the USA Today and The New York Times.
