A brief detailed discussion or each of these major abuses follows. All tires have load limit. Constant overloads slight or occasional heavy shorten tire life. To determine accurately the- load carried on a vehicle tire, weigh separately the front and rear wheela, and divide each weight by two for the tire load. To this can- - be added weight figures corresponding to the average front or rear passenger load. The maximum actual tire load ahould not exceed the maximum load carrying capacity advertised by responsible tire manufacturers. Proper Inflation' is as Important as proper loads. Tires are not built to take the place of steel springs or of shock absorbers. Underlnflatlon results in an unnatural flexing of the layers of fabric which causes separation and early deIf easier struction of the tire carcass. riding Is desired overslzd tires may be used and such tires In addition to furnishing extra resiliency, give more trtfction on rear wheela and supplv greater mileage. However, oversizing tires requires a readjustment of the speedometer, otherwise the recorded distance yill be less than that actually traveled. Do not change Inflation pressures with changes of atmospheric temperature, since more damage results fiom endeavoring to compensate for an Increase In the tire temperature than ts caused by the increase In temperature Itse f. Avoid running on a flat tire. Such practice ruins the tube and breaks the casing at tho bead or sidewall. If you collect automobile racing statistics, you will find that the average life of a high grade tire on a raring car Is under 500 miles which is about of the life of a tire- - operated under ordinary xKindlttons. This difference In tire service is due directly tq a difference In heat developed. Heat exerts a deteriorating effect on vulcanised rubber In proportion to the Inlength of time the rubber is tensity and exposed to It. The source of heat that most does damage ts that produced at high running speed by the Internal Motion The heat developed of the tire carcass by frictional contact with tho road when traveling rapidly also has some Influence. Tires are so designed as to resist the effects of heat produced by ordinary evBut tires cannot eryday car operation. long remain Intact when highly heated by continuous or even Intermittent speeding, and the results lead to complete tire carcass break down. From (be standupkeep, and point of tire life, mechanical gasoline economy, car speeds should be kept within prescribed limits. Among the factors which have an Intimate relation to tire mileage is wheel The free rolling motion of a alignment wheel misaligntire Is affected by a small ment and the result Is excessive tread wear. Whnthe two opposite wheels are not parallel there ts a diagonal grind at tha point where the tires come In contact with the road surface which wears off the rubber almost ss fast as If In contact with an emery wheel. Front wheels may be out of alignment due to cross rod, axle, or steering knurkle becoming bent by contact with a curb or some other obstruction, or the cross rod or knuckle may be Improperly adjusted.
