Maybe you can say 'tireder' according to some grammar book you consulted, 
but if you said it in N. America, people would think you uneducated. 
Downright, low class.
It sounds like 'slum English'.
In fact, out of this context, I would have trouble reading the word 
properly. It looks like 'ti-reder' which is gibberish.
I would think this to be doubly so in Britain, but who knows, maybe the 
Cockneys talk like that.
