T|RESWEAROUT

Stiffness Of Chassis Gives Tubes
Hard Pounding, Miller
Experts Testify.

Motorists often wonder that the
tires which have given splendid service
on their old cars do not wear as ex-
pected when specified on their new
cars. Too ofen the quality of the
tire is blamed.
New cars are hard on tires. Being
stiff and rigid they do not give readily
under road shocks. AS a result the
new casing is literally ground to pieces
between the car and the road. Even
over good roads, tires are twisted and
jammed in driving a new car with
which the motorist is not familiar, and
in which the gears are still stiff.
Though new cars are driven care
fully, oiled. creased, and washed, the
tires, consciously or unconsciously. sn>

the mistaken supposition that soft
tires ride more easily. Miller tire men
claim that the properly inflated tire
is actually the most resilient.

much needless trouble with a new tire
equipment would be eliminated.

HOMEMADE TOOL HELPS

is a simple tool which will overcome
the difficulty and can be made by
any amateur. Get an old pair of

Heat the jaws in the forge or torch
and bend them out, allowing a slight
boon to bend in the opposite direc-
tiCT at the ends. The distance be-
tween the jaws should he greatest
when the handles are spread.
BY inserting one hook in each
end link OF the chain and then press

will be stretched over the tire
until the locking clamps meet and the
tire permanently fastened.

Tire Mileage Killed
By Sliding With
Brakes Locked

Any man who caught himself
cutting his tire tread with a file
would voluntarily apply for admis-
sion TO the nearest retreat for the
feeble-minded. Yet the same man
will lock his brakes and slide ten
feet and think nothing about it.
Too many motorists confuse
their tires with skates. Instead of
looking ahead for obstacles and
checking the car slowly by closing
the throttle with the clutch en-
gagged, they wait until they are
right in the middle of an emer-
gency and then jam on the brakes.
They never stop to consider these
little slides with the brakes locked
until they notice spots where the
tire tread is worn through to the
fabric.
Even where the tread is not
scraped through to the fsbric, tire
men point out that there are flat
places left in the tread. Them. as
the car proceeds, these flat pieces
pound away on the road like a
flat-wheeled trolley, killing the
mileage in the tire.
Letting in the clutch too quickly,
spinning the back wheels in mud
holes, taking corners at high speed
and locking the brakes means a
short life for tires.
