On0 may wonder why 1t Is that
when turning out Of the straight
the front wheels go in the direction
they are .steered and why the front
emo or the car does not go on just
pushing the front wheels sideways.
The reason is that the concentra.
tlon or weight Is q good distance
back or the front wheels and also
that they are rolling free. With the
rear wheels either the engine IL
driving them or they are driving
the engine. which means that there
10 drag between the tires and
the road that is already lessening
the adhesion.
When a skid Of this kind starts
the worst possible thing to do IL to
apply the brakes. as this makes
matters worse, because a wheel
can only be directed when 1t 10
rolling. II its hold on the road IL
already so slight that 1t is slipping
out OF the path we want It to fol.
low, then by trying to stop 1t from
rotating we merely make 1t 30 much
the harder to steer. Suppose now
that the road is wet and that the
car Is still steering properly, It can
generally be made to skid by sud.
denly applying the brakes hard,
even without trying to make the
slightest turn out Of the straight.
This Is because, even II the brakes
are perfectly compensated, the ad.
hesion Of the tires will not be
Identical. One will lock first, even
surprising both Of them apparently
lock together. As was already
pointed out, locked wheel cannot
be steered, because to be steered 1t
must be rolling, SO once 1t is locked
1t may slide in any direction. Often
1t slides straight.
At slow speed II a cars steering
Is already set straight 1t will usual.
ly slide straight II the rear wheels
are locked. When running faster.
however, the wheels hardly ever are
set absolutely straight, for It is
not possible to hold them so over
small road inequalities. Let them
be ever so slightly out of line when
the rear wheels lock and round
the back Of the car must come.
It can be stated that with four.
wheel brakes the tendency to skid
Is reduced. This is principally be-
cause to get q stop of any par.
ticular degree of quickneSs we
need just q certain amount Of re.
sistance. II this amount Of re-
sistance Is distributed over four
wheels instead Of two, then each
wheel has only half the work to
do, In other words having brakes
on all four WHEELS cuts the tend.
ency to lock one of them.
If all four WHEELS are locked then
the car cannot be steered but must
carry on straight. This is why

BALLOON TIRES
CUSHION ALL
ROADS
Riding Qualities Revelation
to Motorists of Old
School.

Two features Of balloon tires are
likely to engage the motorists at.
tention as soon as he begins to &C.
Quire knowledge about them. The
first Of these two is occasioned by
glimpse at the time-its unnusally
large cross sectional diameter.
The second, and probably. the
most startling OF the two, has to
DO with air pressure. 1t is general
~ q difficult proposition for the un.
initiated to understand how a tire
which appears much larger than the
one he has been using, can be
safely and successfully operated at
an air pressure which is far below
that to which he has become &C.
customed over period of years.
An example illustrates the point.
The average load carried by a 32x4
cord tire is 900 pounds. The infla.
ton recommended by all standard
tire manufacturers for this weight
Is 90 pounds. The recommended
pressure at $50 pounds wheel weight
for 6.25 balloon tire, which re.
places the S2x4, is only 80 pounds.
Thus, there is produced q seeming
paradox. The secret lies in the
wonderful improvements in balloon
tires which make riding on much
less air pressure not only com.
Portable, but absolutely safe and
not Injurious to the tires. "Not
unless motorist has been up in 4
balloon can he appreciate the an.
preme comfort Of literally floating
over rough roads," is the way Mi.

A New Style in Tires.

The advantages Of "balloon" tires
are greater comfort, less vibration
to the mechanism, especially the
inspiring weight a moderate in
crease in braking action, slight in.
crease In gasoline mileage and long
tire life. The disadvantages seem
to be harder steering, as is observed
with a soft tire, the necessity of
using shock absorbers. especially on
the larger sizes (really recoil alb

greater cost.

 However, nature is very versatile and strives in every way to make up for the shortcomings of an unduly polished and unnatural age of per- verted living conditions and to keep us alive in spite of our thouGhtless violations of her laws. To do this she Is obliged to draw on our reserve vitality and cut our future short to give us . reaSon- able degree of efficiency for the present.
