sometimes these wheels must leave the
road altogether. There is more likeli-
hood Of meeting broken. glass, metal,
and other objects on this side. Then
there is more weight on these wheels
because the car is tipped more to that
side on account Of the crown Of the
road. Therefore it may be stated as a
general principle that the rear tires
wear more than the front ones and the
right ones more than the left.
Starting with all new tires 1t win be
evident that the right rear tire will
show serious wear long before the left
front tire has got over its newness. At
this point the two should be eX-
changed. It is difficult to state just
when this change should take place;
possibly it is best left to the discre-
ton of a driver. If a "nOn-skid" is
used, the change should be made be-
fore the tread is worn so smooth as
to lose its protective feature. At the
same time the other two tires should
be exchanged, to keep matters even.
After a few thousand miles more we
enter the second phase. One by one
the tires viii wear out and not even
vultanizing can save them. They
must then be moved up in the sequence
shown. Supposing the left front tire
is discarded, the right front tire takes
its place; the left rear tire moves for
ward and the right rear tire takes its
place. The spare tire is placed on the
right rear wheel, the point Of greatest
strain.
OF course, If some tire is to be re-
moved temporarily for repairs, it win
be replaced by the spare tire instead
Of moving the rest forward, and as
soon as returned It is put back In its
regular position.
By following the above system You
win not only make your tires last
LONGER, but you win have less trouble
