TIRES
ARE PREDICTED
Rubber Company Official
Predicts Method To Be
Retained
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE
Associated Press AutonIotive

AuAeOA
DETROIT, Sept 6 -P-
The American motorist is going
to get a certain amount of synthe-
tic rubber in his tires for quite
some time to come, but he is 60
ing to like it.
Already the tires turned out by
the rubber industry-with varying
amounts OF synthetic combined
with natural rubber-are superior
to those produced before the
Moreover, they are lower in price.
But on top of these advantages
comes an entirely new tire, an
extra low pressure type Of casing.
One of these low pressure castings,
brought out by The United States
Rubber Company a year ago, is
described by DR.. Arthur W. Bull,
the company's director of tire de-
velopment, as "the greatest ad-
vance in modern tire design" =
The new tire, which will be
available to many motorists for
tunate enough to obtain delivery
of new passenger automobiles
next year, utilizes a principle of
increased air capacity at low air
pressure. This, Dr.. Bull ex-
planned, results in greater riding
comfort due to the cushioning eff
feet. of the enlarged air chamber.
In addition, he said, the tire
places more working" rubber on
the road, making for greater con
Probability and safety.
almost 20 years of research
went into the development Of the
new tire" DR.. Bull said. "Now,
with a years trial under all con-
ditions, it has fully come up to|
our expectations"
The extra low pressure tire, like
the current conventional types,
has it's percentage of synthetic
rubber combined with the natr/al
product. Roughly, the percentages
are II synthetic and % natural
rubber in the tires used on the
lighterweight, popular : priced
cars, and 33 synthetic and 81 nat
ural in the larger size castings.
Heat generation is the all-im-
portant factor in tire construction
and tests have shown that tires
of synthetic rubber develop more
heat and dissipate it less readily
than those of natural rubber con-
struction. But, DR.. Bull said in an
interview today, research has
shown that today's tires are dis
better-and lower in cost
they were before the war.
Back in 1927" he said, "the
automobile owner got about 1872
per tire dollar. Ten years

ago, he got around 300 miles per
tire dollar. Today the average
motorlst gets 1000 miles for every
dollar he spends for a tire"
DR.. Bull cited figures to show
that a tire which was priced al
S15.O2 in 1899, exclusive Of taxes,
is sold today at $14.4O, and the
larger size, that retailed in 1895
at $20.69 is available today al
$19.75.
1T is significant that even in
the face Of rising costs and in
creased prices in practically
every other field, the tire industry
has kept its prices down to pre-
war levels or BETTER" he added.
The supply Of tires, DR.. Bull de-
clared, has now quite generally
caught up with the heavy demand
created by the war years. Cas-
lngs now r available not only
for all original equipment needs,
but also for just about all replace
ment requirements.
AS "milestones" in the develop
ment of tires-without which there
could be no automobile industry
DIR. Bull cited the Introduction
OF cord tires in 1915; the use OF
cord tires in 1915; the use OF car
bon black in tread stock in 1918;
the production of balloon tires in
1924, that more than cut air pres
sure in half, and now the extra
low pressure castings.
DR.. Bull is an ardent advocate
of the retention OF synthetic rub
Der manufacturing facilities.
This country must never again
get into the position where it is
dependent upon foreign sources
for its rubber" he said.
1--WE need the synthetic facili-
ties, both as a matter of military
precaution and as one of protec-
ton for the motorist against the
consequences of a runaway mar
ket for natural rubber.
certainly, if we had not had
the synthetic facilities during the
war and u know-how to develop
them, the American motorist
wouldn't have any tires today"

During the wal Easements were
hard put to keep their volume
moving ahead, while up-

public buying spree lured base

shortages of goods led main store
departments to seek out manu-

To get merchandise, Easements
carried goods far above their
normal price lines. Promotions, a
