Speed Is Expense
When 1t Comes
To Tires

Excessively fast driving is destruc-
tive to ordinary tires. If the motorist
could maintain an average speed of
twenty-five miles an hour without in
curing the displeasure of policemen
and magistrates he would get more
mileage out of his tires than at any
other mark. If he is one who insists
on letting her out" he must obey the
rules--drivc slowly over rough roads
and take turns cautiously and, as i'm
portant as the other, increase the air
pressure in his tires from two to eight
pounds above normal-also resign
himself to prodigal purchases of tires.
For speeding specially built tires are
required
The faster tire is driven the more
heat it generates internally, while nor
NAL speed will not raise the temper
ature of the tire to dangerous point
Excessive speeding will raise the
temperature to point we'll beyond the
danger line or to point where addi-
tional vulcanization will take place
more than the manufacturer ever in
tended for the tire, and sufficient to
dry out, not only the friction gum be-
tween the plies of fabric but the very
fabric itself, depriving the tire of
considerable of its elasticity it's re-
slllency, in fact, part of it's very life.
This excess heat, drying out the
fabric friction between the plies of
fabric, naturally will cause separa-
ton between the plies resulting in the
fabric chating against itself, or the
plies of fabric chating against one an
other, weakening it to that point where
1T can no longer maintain the air
pressure, resulting in blowout.
watch speeder negotiating a rough
road at about as fast as his car will
travel and notice the rear wheels in
particular as they strike an obstacle,
both at the same time, which shock
comes so abruptly and forcibly that the
rear wheels are raised free from the
ground. Perhaps this is only an inch
or so, but while in the fraction of a
second the wheels are off the ground
the tension is released on the engine,
the wheels are spinning much faster, so
that when they again strike the ground
the road itself must do some brake
work and have an action on the tread
of the tire much like that of rasp
being rubbed over it's surface.
Now, if it should happen that when
the tire strikes the ground after being
thrown into the air there should be a
sharp pointed stone or other sharp
obstacle at that immediate point, the
result would be a nasty cut circum
fcrcntially around the tread. This
might extend for but few inches OF
it might extend halfway round the
tire and might be deep and serious
and all brought about in the wink of
an eye. In addition to this tires used
under these circumstances would no
doubt lose their treads, not alone from
the rapid wearing away, but from q
separation between the tread and the
carcass.-B. +. Goodrich Company.
