LAST 10 MILEAGE RECOVERY MEANS 90 GAMBLE Car Owner May Lose Cash Trying to Get Finnl Few Miles From Casings That 90 per cent of the car owner's tire troubles are likely to occur In the final 10 per cent of his tires' life has been conclusively conclusive-ly proved in laboratory, road tests and In actual user's mileage records, according to Ed. Johnson, local Goodyear dealer, who this week announces that he has a 90-10 90-10 offer to make to car owners to help ban unfit tires from the highways high-ways and streets of the community. commun-ity. "What we mean by 90-10 Is, that the owner often thinks he is saving money when he continues to drive on tires which have about 10 per cent more of their total mileage remaining. Whereas, he is very likely taking a 90 per cent gamble that he won't have either a blowout, a bad skid, or at best the inconvience of a flat tire at some time when he can least afford af-ford it. "That remaining 10 per cent mileage gamble isn't worth the worry and expense it might cause the driver. I am not trying to scare anyone into making tire replacements, but I am certain that, with warm weather coming along tires will give up more quickly, because heat soon discovers dis-covers worn tires' weaknesses," Mr. Johnson continued. "To show that we are sincere in our efforts to rid the streets and roads of possible tire danger sources, we are offerisg to pay car owners for the remaining 10 per cent danger miles so that the motorist may ride on safe, new Goodyears. "Another important thing about tire buying to consider is that now, every Goodyear tire we. sell is guaranteed in writing not for any particular number of months," said Mr. Johnson, "but for its full life, without time or mileage limits." Mr. Johnson pointed out that his offer applied to any tire in his line, adding that he had a tire to fit every buyer's pocketbook demand. |
