Process 10 Estimate
Life Of Tires Listed;
|ckes Enthusiastic
Method Of Spreading Weol
By Proper Switching
Is Demonstrated

Secretary of the Interior Ickes
tried out new automobile tire care
program this morning, and when
told he had underestimated the
mileage left, concluded: I'm all for
it If it saves rubber"
The test took place at the Capitol
Servicenter, Constitution avenue
and Third street NV. The Secre-
tary had estimated that his tires,
which new should run 10000 miles,
had enough rubber left on them so
that his car could run about $4,000
miles more. ~.
Thsn the tires were put through
test to measure the depth Of the
rubber on each OF the five tires,
including the spare. Based on 4
scientific system which had been de-
veloped by the Standard Oil Co. OF
New Jersey, experts figured that his
car, with proper care OF tires, proper
switching from wheel to wheel,
under q 15-point program, should
run 27,500 miles more. This was a
gain Of 12,500 miles over the Secre-
tary's estimate.
Ickes Enthusiastic.
After the test was made in the
presence of newspapermen, still and
motion picture photographers. Sec
retary Ickes was asked what he
thought Of the process.
I'm all for it If it saves any
lac Il
it. 1t looks like it might save
rubber"
The five tires on the Secretary's
car were measured by tire tread
depth guage" to show they had the
following mileage left: II $50, 16,450,
26,25o, 23,8o0 and 2l,35o.
When the experts were confronted
with their estimate that the car
would run 27,500 miles more, which
Is longer than estimates on any one
OF the five tires, they replied that
the extra mileage results from the
use OF the fifth, or spare tire.
Mechanical Computer" Used.
The final answer is arrived at by
tne use OF mechanical cOmputer"
IN the form of wheel of five con-
centric discs.
The extra mileage estimated to
be left in the tires could be realized
only II the radically new tire
switching program is followed" ex-
perts warned.
In accordance with this program,
1t was explained, tires are switched
every $500 miles, with tires re-
checked at additional $500 mile Pc
riods. ESQ Marketers' representa-
tives pointed out that 80 per cent
OF all tire wear occurs on the right
rear tire, % per cent on the left
rear. 10 per cent on the right front,
and IA per cent the left front.
