TIRES OF A M0TORCAR.
Why They Are Found Heated After a
Long and Fast Run.


1t is well known that after Il long
and fast run the tires Of an autono-
bile are found to be very hot, and
many have supposed this is the result
Of the friction OF the tire on the road.
The Scientific American says that such
Is not the case, at least as to the great
er portion Of the heat.
"Ihe real cause of heating" says that
magazine, IS the internal friction Of
the tire itself, for AS the tire is being
constantly detected by contact with
the road the various piles. or layers.
which compose the tire do not act uni
formy, and consequently there is more
or less motion between them that re-
salts IN friction and heat The great
or the change in shape IN the tire as It
contacts with the road the greater Will
be the friction.
"Of course the harder the tire Is pump
ed the less viii be the friction, but It
IS evident that, while a perfectly rigid
tire would generate but little heat 1t
would fail in giving easy riding So
we must put up with some heating and
consequent wear of the tire The sub
ject is one that Is being successfully
studied by the tiremaker."
