MILEAGE INCREASED
WITH PROPER CARE

Mileage may be increased from 10
to 25 per cent with the proper care
of tires, according to John w. Nor
ton, Mountain Home Firestone deal
er.
Mr.. Morton, who has given tire
service close and careful study, point
out that maximum mileage cannot be
obtained from tires unless they are
given the right attention and that it
is just as essential to care for tires
as it is to look after the motor in a
a car.
There is hardly an article in gem
eral use to-day" he said that gets
more abuse or that is more respon-
siYe to proper treatment than the
automobile and truck tire.
There are three important fac
tors that must be looked after in
getting maximum mileage from tires
wheel alignment, proper imitation
and load capacities. The first two
are what causes the most trouble.
"While it is necessary in all tires
to look after wheel alignment and
air pressure, it is especially essential
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1925-11-20

in balloon tires.
Tires on wheels misaligned will
wear out much faster. They are sub
ject to an action which is very SINH
lar to fling the tread off a tire.
Damage equally as severe is to be
caused by under imitation. From five
to ten pounds less air pressure than
required may lead to quick and cost
ly ruin Of your equipment.
Motorists who do not know, or
fail to appreciate these facts are not
getting maximum service from their
equipment and are losing money
every mile they run their cars. The
remedy lies in the proper care of the
tire.
"Our recommendation is that the
air pressure in tires be checked once
week and wheel alignment every
month at least We urge our Gus
toners to let us provide this service.
The value of it will be attested by
the greatly increased mileage which
the tires receive"

The Washington indictment
