Create different element in XSD

I have a XSD modified to add new item without having to create a new XSD. Currently I have a single element in this case is "tire".

I created an element of type "tire".

<xs:element name="tire" type="x:tire" />

but I get an error when validating. Error:

Not valid.
Error - Line 4, 43: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 4; columnNumber: 43; src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 'x:tire'. It was detected that 'x:tire' is in namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'null'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 'x:tire' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be added to 'null'.
Error - Line 4, 43: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 4; columnNumber: 43; src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'x:tire' to a(n) 'type definition' component.

  <xs:complexType name="tire">
    <xs:complexContent>
      <xs:extension base="product">
        <xs:attribute type="xs:string" name="model" />
        <xs:attribute type="xs:string" name="trademark" />
      </xs:extension>
    </xs:complexContent>
  </xs:complexType>

<xs:element name="products">
  <xs:complexType>
    <xs:sequence>
      <xs:element name="tire" maxOccurs="unbounded"
        minOccurs="0" type="x:tire" />
    </xs:sequence>
  </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

The new products will add them as elements.

<xs:element name="glass" maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" type="x:glass" />

thanks.

The type "tire" is not in the XSD namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema, it is in the target namespace of the schema document, which in this case is "no namespace". So it should be type="tire" rather than type="x:tire".
