NEW STANDARDS SOUGHT
TO REDUCE TIRE SIZES
Advent of Balloons Has Resulted in Great
Number of Different Types and Brought
Waste in Many Lines of Auto Industry.

would he reduced to g BY February
I Of 1922 no such simplicity had been
| chieved but remarkable progress
ID been made nevertheless. Ten
re sizes sutficed for 104 models of
nve-p passenger touring cars. Eleven
sizes were found on 124 sedan models
Balloon Tires Vary.
| With the advent of the balloon
! tires, the number of tire sizes has eX-
Ceeded 90. Not only are there dis
tinCt types. such as full-balloon, semi
balloon, four-ply, six-ply, each with
full complement of sizes, but there
are a variety of wheel sizes. ProduC
ton of wheels 20. Il and % inches in
diameter has brought about a need
for just SO many more tire sizes.
There also were several Is and 10
inch wheels used for experimental pur-
| poses.
Production of fabric tires will show
a decided decline by the end of 1925.
Figures from the Rubber Association
OF America, Inc. which represents
rs per cent of the rubber industry,
show that fabric-caSing production
fell to 562 .449 in April of 1925. This
is quite a contrast to a production of
] ,452. T09 in the same month in 1928.
Use of balloon castings for FordS is
expected to reduce fabrics to the spe
cialty class, with a view to their com
plete elimination within a short time.
In April, 1925, inventory of fabrics
reached 100 500. Large inventories
OF special sizes and types of tires
should hasten diSContinuanCe of such
sizes and types, since the supply on
hand should take care of the demand
for the older types of tires While the
demand is rapidly decreasing
Even Cords Decreasing.
High pressure cord tire production
has been fairly constant since March
OF 1923. Inventory. however. reached
high peak in March, 1925, which
seems to indicate that high-pressure
tires may follow fabrics. A hopeful
sign for those favoring Standardized
ton in tires is the surprising increase
in production of balloon castings. In
April, 1925, balloon production had
reached 1,626369 for the month.
which was approximately 200 600 less
than the high-pressure cord produc-
ton for the same month. Just one
year previous balloon casing produc-
ton was under 100000.
1t is believed that a general con
centration on the balloon tire will
enable the tire industry to develop its
plans with regard to simplifying
types, thus enabling the industry to
pass on to car owners much OF the
savings which such standardization
would afford.
Warnings are sounded. however,
against any attempt to force stand
ardization on the motoring public and
car manufacturers. While the mo-
toriSt and the car makers prefer few
er sizes and types, and realize that
Standardization is both economic and
! businesslike, nevertheless they do not
! intend to have forced on them sizes

THE OLD MECHANIC SAYS:

Owners usually can ride off valve
troubles. When valves stick, the Gus
tom is TO call up a repairer ana have
him order a valve grindin' job. Wiser
owners put up with the clappin' for
a few miles and. meantime. try to
learn how TO avoid the cause Of
stickin' valves.
That's the right slant TO take Too
much use of the choker will cause
valves to stick. The raw gasoline
sucked into the engine during the
Crankin' process dries off the valve
stems until they haven't got any luhi-
cant 10 keep them workin' smoothly

lire maker believes that the situation
is so serious and progress toward
StandardiZation so difficult that re
lief can be expected only through the
Inseltish cooperation of those inter
ested, possibly through a neutral or
EaniZatiOn or committee.
Demand for Odd Sizes
It has been pointed out that there
always will be some demand for odd
sizes and special tires 10 be used on
special jobs, custom-built cars and
Iltra-modern models. 1t is believed,
However, that such demands can be
net by smaller rubber companies spe-
oialiZing in novelties or by special
custom departments of the larger
rubber companies, with prices scaled
TO cover extra expenses involved in
making odd sizes and models.
Under present conditions the eX-
pense of odd sizes and special tire
models is shared by all tire users.
The tire makers are as eager 10 cor
are of seeing standardization become
a reality.
In addition 70 the wheel and rim
industry, a multiplicity OF tire sizes
also affects adversely chain manufac-
1urers, tire cover makers, tire carrier
builders and companies specializing
in spare tire locks, rim and repair
tools, patches and repair equipment,
repair molds and display racks.
The balloon tire Is blamed for much
Of the present confusion, particularly
since nothing definite with regard to
sizes or types has been decided upon
with regard 10 these new loW-pressure
tires. At the close of the war period
there were 2S7 sizes and styles in

An unforeseen complication in the

of need for forced economy. 1t has
been freely observed that motorists
never have been more liberal with
