WHY AIR TIRES
GIVE AID TO CAR
ResiIiency OF the Pneumatic is Most
Important Alike to the Life and
Elasc Of the AutOmobile.

Many experts. thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with every detail Of the Situa-
tiOn. maintain that the automobile
never VIII rest satisfactorily on any
other footing than the pneumatic tire
SAYS j. ". Anderson, general sales
manager OF the United States Tire
company Others, perhaps equally
well informed are not so sure that this
is a fact But or one thing we are
all sCre-that fup to the present time
nothing practical has been created TO
supplant such a highly resilient sub
stance as rubber IN conjunction with
compressed air, in providing a foun-
dauOn for the motor car
The duties of an automobile tire
are more eXactng than the casual OBJ
server may imagine. Perhaps the
first quality 70 be taken into account
is that Of endurance. A tire must be
so constructed and made OF such ma
terials that IL viii yield a satisfactory
mileage return on the cash investment
This question Of mileage service is
the one which appeals with particular
force to the car owner. However,
there are other tire essentials which
while probably not so cOnsDicuOus by
spicuOus should they be eliminated BY
the tire manufacturer.
Resiliency is an important feature
Of the pneumatic tire This is the
quality that absOrbs the shocks Of the
road furnishing easy riding not only
to passengers. but protecting the en-
CINE and mechanism of the car as
well Without resiliency a tire cannot
perform its most important functions,
and the whole structure of the motor
car suffers in consequence.
1t is in the lack Of this element of
resiliency that most of the patented
substitutes for air and rubber fall
down. For easy riding and for afford
ing complete protection to all parts
OF the car, pneumatic tires. at least
up to the present time, stand supreme.
The tires of an automobile must
stand all the force and impact Of the
engine in starting. driving and stop
ping the car; they must carry weight
resist wear. Withstand the heat gener-
ated by friction with road surfaces
and the resistance OF the brakes in
stopping the car. Furthermore. they
must be so constructed as TO permit
Of quick removal and ready substi-
tuition"
