Closer to sewer, or "doer" or "fewer". Compress it to one syllable. Think "ooh" not "ohh".
I'm not... correcting you, I'm just explaining that I never hear anyone pronouncing tour such that it rhymes with either pronunciation of sewer.
You said you'd never heard it that way, I just wanted to clarify that I communicated the right pronunciation since "sewer" is a bit more drawn out than I meant to imply. All good
Sorry, I was a little defensive because some others seemed to think I was arguing with you. Your explanation made sense, though.
