How do you pronounce the word for 'tire' in Portuguese?

Factual Questions
1

It’s something like ‘pneumos’ and we were wondering whether you pronounce the ‘p’ or if it’s silent. The Spanish version doesn’t have the ‘p’ at all.

2

Yes, you pronounce the ‘p’.

I should say that I had six months of intensive Portuguese at the Foreign Service Institute and then lived in Lisbon for two years. Here’s a mouthful:

pneumonia: p-nay’-oo-moh-nee’-a

Thanks! We couldn’t decide whether it fell under “imported foreign words that have weird spelling” or “pronounce every consonant”.

Yup. No “p” in “llanta.”
Oh, you mean “neúmataticos” – no one ever really says that in US or Mexican Spanish.
