The average motorist will appreciate this through bis experience In using skid chains. it is no reflection on the manufacturer that he doe not provide n foot ' of clearance for the application of any else tire, because he must maintain good appearance. If the fenders ere too far away from the tires, the car nt measure the distance betw'een top of tire and fender front and rear, then compare this with the distance between frame and spring bumper on as lea if the distance is great enough between bumper and frame to allow for an inch larger tire, you are certain then of clearance at this point You must figure aa inch mere clearance for a standard cord tire, because a 3 Inch tire will measure at least an inch larger in diameter than g flinch fabric tire. Next turn the eteering wheel until front wheels are at full angle In either bedirection, then measure distance tween the tire and frame or nearest sure of Interference, making point that there Is ample clearance so that a new larger tire would not be damaged under this condition. At the same time, see that there is ample clearance between tire and side fender of apron with wheels In this position.
