radical changes in their methods Of

Ii has always been thought that the
way to avoid punctures was to have the
tires pumped up to the maximum 50
that there would be as little tire sur

therefore as little chance as possible
for nails, glass and tacks TO be picked
up. The high pressure was supposed
to make. the tire puncture- proof by Of
fering a strong resistance to the watch

Contrast this with the arguments in
favor of the new tires. II is contended
by the tire makers that the softness of
the giant oversize tire Is insurance
against punctures, since foreign matter
merely occupies depression in the
yielding tire as it is passed over. In
other words. the tires sort Of invite
the nails to come in, but manage to
pass by unharmed before the nail has a
chance to accept.
Maybe this explains why so many
over inflated tires manage to force so
many nails into their tubes. There is no
other place for the nail to so when run
