MOTOR PUZZLE SOLVED.
|
Reason for Right-Hand Tire Wear
ing Fastest Explained.

The fact that tires on the right
hand side of. a car wear out faster in
proportion than those on the left
hand side often puzzles motorists.
The popular supposition that this
wear is caused by turning many cor
ners to the right is. incorrect The
fact is that the increased wear is
actually caused by the pitch of the
road. which throws more of the car
on the right side than on the left, ac-
cording to Motor Life. -"-
The round of the road from curb to
curb is far more important in deter
mining the sequence in which tires
normally wear outright rear, left
gear, right front, left front-than
is gutter wear and abrasions from
grinding off and on pavements.
The slope of the road causes the
right rear tire to carry more weight
than the left rear tire. Thus the
right rear wears the faster of the
two. The right front also will wear
more rapidly than the left front. for
the same reason.
However. as the left rear wheel re-
ceives driving pull while the right
front does not, it will wear the faster
of the two. Under average conditions
the right rear tire wears out first and
the left front last.
To secure uniform wear from set
Of tires, change them around about
once a month. Particularly is 1t i'm
portant. to reverse the rear tires.
After the rear tires are worn down,
reverse them with the 'front.'
