Perry,
The short version: I grew up reading more books by English authors than American ones, and as a result my spelling on a lot of words tends to favour the English variant. My parents did not realise that the books I was reading (mostly sent to me by my grandparents - one of whom was stationed in England) had 'errors' in them. By the time my teachers discovered this it was already too late.
'Favoured' is the correct spelling for the majority of the English speaking world.

I do go back and forth on 'tyre/tire' though...
