srANDARDIzING TIRE SIZES.
New Auto Tire and Rim Sizes Explained
By w. G. Reynolds of Reynolds & Son.

In standardizing tire sizes, war has
performed a service in one years time
for dealers, manufacturers and car own
ers that ii would have taken a score of
years to accomplish IN normal times,
said w. G. Reynolds of Reynolds 4 Son,
distributors Of Diamond tires.
"Fhere is really no necessity for the
multiplicity of sizes and types of tires
which manufacturers have been making
and dealers have been carrying in stock. :
And yet, / doubt whether we would have
weeded out the non essentials short of
1850 had the old world continued to
drift along in l9l2 fashion,
when an automobile designer speei-
fed tire of different size or type, tire
manufacturers simply made II. No one
stopped TO inquire whether some exist
ing size or type wouldn't suit just as
we'll As a result, we have had total
Of PSI different tires, with consequent
high manufacturing costs and large in
yestments by dealers who endeavored to
carry complete stock.
by the recent action Of the pneumatic
tire division Of the war service board.
continued Mr.. Reynolds, rims on new
cars will be limited to six sizes and it
will be simple for tire makers TO follow
suit by reducing TO nine standard tire
sizes. The new dimensions are as fol-
lows.

"Some sizes are abandoned immedi-
ately. Others are continued for varying
periods, but by November /, 1920, the
entire plan win be in effect.
Its the best thing that ever hap

overhead expense, and the manufacturers
win welcome the new condition. This is
directly in line with the purposes Of the
war service board
"The new program win be adopted
gradually, giving car owners plenty of
opportunity to change their rim equip
ment where the car will outliye the sup.
ply of odd size tires. All new automo-
biles will conform to the new standards,
gradually eliminating all demand for
odd sizes adv.
