TIRE TREAD DESIGN
IS VERY IMPORTANT
Has Much to Do With Ease OF
Steering a Car.
Especially So on Large Machines
Where Contact With Road Surface
Is Broad-Two Styles Of Tires
Complicates Matters.

The tread design of an automobile
tire may be n matter of small conse-
quence to the driver of small car
but every driver Of heavy car knows
that the tread confguration has a
good deal to do with the ease with
which the car may be steered.
On the smaller cars the area OF the
tread that Is In contact with the road
surface is so small that an improper
design may cause little trouble. But
when heavy car settles down on Its
tires, the driver finds himself called
on for the exercise of constant atten-
ton and effort to keep the car from
swerving or the road II the tread de-
sign is improper type
One point on which all motorists agree
Is that the tires on the rear wheels
should be of good non-skid pattern
and that the front tires should have a
tread design that will keep them run
ming ahead in n straight line with n
minimum of steering effort on the part
OF the driver.
The ideal tire tread is one that can
be used with equally good results on
any wheel, either front or back. Given
such tire a motorist need carry
only one spare, and his car is always
evenly balanced. no matter what tire
changes he makes. But II one style
tread Is used on the front wheels and
another on the rear, the motorlst wiz
usually carry two srares, one of ench
type. Having two types furnishes q
further complication when IL is de.
sired TO shift partly-worn tires from
the hardworklng rear wheels TO the
front wheels, in order to get n few
thousand miles more wear ont of them
before they go to the scrap heap. The
non-skids used on the rear may not
be suited for front wheel purposes.
