Show RUST ON THE RIMS INJURES THE TIRES Rust is an enemy of rubber. It will pay the motorist to inspect occasionally the condition of the rims on the wheels of his car, especially if the outer surfaces of the casings near the heads look rusty. This discoloration is rust caused by rusted rims. This rust, if not arrested, will gradually grad-ually eat through the rubber, attacking the canvas of the tire. In time the edges of the rusted rims will become more and more uneven, tearing and eventually destroying de-stroying the beads. Furthermore, rust works in between the beads and the rims, leaving space for water, which also damages dam-ages the rubber. |
