According to Dictionary.com, www.oed.com, www.m-w.com, and the Macquarie Concise, you're wrong. You're and your both rhyme with oar, and their, they're and there all rhyme with heir. I've also never heard anyone outside the states try to make those words sound different. Context is invariably enough to work out the meaning.
