TEST
U5ES'LOAD
AS BASIS
New Schedule Shows 35
Pounds Minimum Pressure
For Small Tire Best.

1t is no longer necessary to carry
as much air in tires as in the
past. At the same time underin-
flation is still the worst form of
tire abuse. Proper initiation is
necessary. The only difference is
that tires are now built to require
less pressure than in the past.
A new schedule of initiation and
weights has been worked out by
the Rubber Association of America
and calls for minimum pressure of
S5 pounds for a 81 Inch tire to
a maximum pressure sof 70 pounds
for a 5-inch size.
The recommended kair pressure
means that the pressure should be
kept consistently at the suggested
figure and not permitted to fluc-
tuate.
Since the air pressure question
has always been more or less of
hoodoo to tire users, tire manufac-
turers have been working to a point
The Washington times., 1923-05-05

where less air pressure would be
necessary and in line with this they
have been bringing down the stand
ard recommendations safely.
In the gradual development of
the tire, laboratories and expert
mental departments have worked
toward a tire that would meet the
demands of the operator on the
road, but which would not have to
be taken and used according to GER
tain specific instructions. In short,
they have been working toward a
sliding scale for initiation.
With the devopment of the cord
tire 1t has been proven in actual
tests, according to Miller tire men.
that less air pressure is necessary.
At the same time riding qualities of
the car have been made much more
comfortable without injury to the
tire.
The most important thing to bear
in mind is that underinflation is
far different from proper initiation.
Proper initiation figures on a
81 inch. for example, may vary
as much as 90 pounds, according
to the weight carried In other
words. for 81 inch fabric tire,
carrying load of 375 pounds, IS
pounds of air is sufficient. For a
81 inch fabric tire, carrying CTS
pounds, SO pounds of air should
be used. That is a variance of
90 pounds of pressure in the same
size tire, the difference resulting
from increased load.

Avoiding Some Of the Splash.

To avoid getting splashed with mud
when passing another car, it is mis-
take to get as far away as possible.
When the cars are ten feet or so
apart, any mud that is splashed is
sure TO strike the body of the other
car, whereas if the machines are
closer together. three feet apart, mud
that is splashed will only strike the

It was faced with the pleasant task
