DIRT HIGHWAYS ARE EASIEST
Unpaved Country Roads Cause Least
Wear on Tires, While Stag ls
Most Destructive.

The much maligned dirt road finds
a champion in Denver tire manufac-
turer, who asserts that exhaustive
tests show that the unpaved country
road causes the least tire wear. But
the road must be in good condition,
with no ruts to wear against the side
walls of the tire. When properly
dragged. the unpaved country road is
found to generate less heat in the tire
than any other type Of road.
Stag roads were found to be most
destructive to tires, the sharp points
soon pitting the tread with my holes.
With the test cars wheels fraction
of an inch out of alignment, the tires
looked as il their tread had been sand
papered after only few hours travel.
Asphalt pavement was found to de-
velop much heat, but little external
wear. Macadam roads in good condi-
ton were found to be better than Stag.
