more Of the road vibration is absorbed
by tho tires.
But when soft, the tire runs against
a wave in the tread rubber, which from
excessive stretching and heating pulls
away and separates from the carcass
or body. The sidewalks develop q
hinging action as the wheels revolve,
and the result is the same as when a
piece of wire is bent back and forth
It becomes hot and finally breaks
In an underinaated tire the heat
from the increased action of the side
walls softens the rubber cement of adj
hesiveness between the fabric layers
and a certain degree of devulcaniza-
tion takes place. As result, when the
tire strikes a particularly hard bump,
a loud explosion rends the air and it
is time to put on q new casing.
Flat Tires Demand Immediate
Attention.
A soft or fiat tire on n front wheel
can always be noticed by the difficulty
in steering the car in a straight course;
the steering wheel naturally favors the
fat or soft tire. II on a rear wheel,
pounding or humping viii be noticeable.
Demountable and quick detachable
rims make it possible to change tires
very quickly, but even If not so equip
ped, it is wise to stop and give the
tires attention. Damage TO the side
walls. beads, fabric inside and the
inner tube usually makes it difficult to
execute practicable repairs. A rear
tire ridden debated very far may result
ii damage to the differential OF the car.
Expansion caused by hot weather or
the sun IS negligible end will not
materially affect the tire, as the air
pressure within is not Increased to any
appreciable decree. New tires stretch
slightly when first used and inner tubes
are slightly permeable to nitrogen so
that occasional imitation is advisable.
Deteriorating effects of stale air can be
avoided by filing the tires with fresh
supply at least two or three times o
year.
While there can be no infexible
tables for imitation OF tires az style of
construction, power, speed, road condi-
tions, driving and weight viii play an
important part in the strains upon tires,
under ordinary circumstances the tires
on the front wheels should be inflated
between IS to IS pounds per inch Of
tire section and rear tires from Is to
90 pounds.

The car owner of today is fast
coming to the realization that the
mileage he gets from his tires depends
upon the treatment they are given.
Mileage is built into tires at the
factory by scientific methods. The
user can get every inch of that in
built mileage out Of the equipment
by the proper care and use of it.
The motorist ordinarily places so
much confidence in tire equipment,
probably because Of its rapid develop
ment and wonderful performances, that
it does nor receive the inspection and
attention considered necessary for the
car. Hence the loss to the average
car owner of thirty cents on every
dollar spent for tires, and the oppor-
tunity for these articles, which are
designed to enable every ear owner,
who reads them, to save his share of
the sos, 100000 wasted on tires each
year.
1t has been aptly said that the
rheumatic tire is Of the most para
Goxical construction in the entire field
of automobile engineering. 1t must
be very resilient yet Withstand pul-
ishmcnt worthy Of amor plate.
Two tender substances, rubber and
cotton fabric, rust be so blended and

obstacles. And Uron the successful
construction Of The tire has depended

While the selection Of tie hit type
and size, correct application end pro-
per treatment cf tires are All necessary
to obtain the So results. the simple
matter of imitation Is probably the most
important point in the care and use ef
equipment, as its abuse is the pril-
cipal cause Of tire wastage.
