Why Mileage Varies

"A Cord Tire gives vastly greater
service than Fabric Tire.
An oversize tire will vastly excel
tire that is undcrsizc. Care, load
and roads affect tire service greatly.
Millcrs are uniform tires. That is
a major reason for their supremacy.
But uniform tires will vary with
conditions.
