New Booklet Lists
Tire Information

Detailed information on the
selection and care OF tires, in
GLIDING the result Of research by
the Rubber Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION, is contained in a new
booklet published by United
States Rubber Company, en-
titled -Four Vital Spots" The
title refers to the four areas
where the tread rubber OF the
tires meet the surface of the
road, where, according to the
writer, only the friction be-
tween rubber and road keeps
the car under control.
AS chief factors in the long
life Of a tire it lists: proper in
flation, careful inspection for
bruises and cuts, alignment of
wheels at all times, balanced
wheel assembly, and brake ad-
justment. Cross switching is
recommended TO equalize the
tread wear.
