Another astonishing thing 20 Amer
leans is the wide usage Of dual pneu-
MATES. such usage is possible in
Europe because Europe is so far
ahead of us in road construction.
Here stones would wedge themselves
between the tires and mutiliate the
side walls.
In Europe one never sees stones on
a road. The European prefers dual
pneumatics TO the large single pneu-
matte because he has a decided aver
sion for many tire sizes. A five inch
section in front and seven inch sec
ton in back meets his requirements
nicely.
The chief advantage or dual
pneumntlcs to the European Is
