Well, "Rad" (actually rather "Reifen") is "tire". The term "gerädert" originates from a very cruel medieval form of torture, where the delinquent's body was crushed with a big cartwheel and subsequently attached to the spokes of the wheel and presented to the masses. In colloquial language, "gerädert" means a strong feeling of exhaustion and weariness (as if being tortured).
So we have Rad <-> tire and gerädert <-> tired. Kinda funny, I think.
