Show CARE FOR YOUR TIRES Mileage may be increased from 10 to 2 5 per cent with the proper care of tires, according to L. G. Clay, Milford Mil-ford Firestone dealer. Mr. Clay, who has given tire ser-vios ser-vios close and careful study, points out that maximum mileage cannot be obtained from tires unless they are given the right attention and that it is just as .essential to care for tires as it is to look after the motor in a car. "There is hardly an article in general gen-eral use today," he said, "that gets more abuse or that is more responsive, respon-sive, to proper treatment than the automobile au-tomobile truck tire. "There are three important factors that must be looked after in getting maximum mileage from tires wheel alignment, proper inflation and load capacities. The first two are what causes the most trouble. "While it is necessary in all tires to look after wheel alignment and air pressure, it is especially essential in balloon tires. "Tires on wheels misaligned will wear out much faster. They are subject sub-ject to an action which is very similar to filing the tread off a tire. "Damage equally as severe is caused caus-ed by under inflation. From five to ten pounds less air pressure than required re-quired may lead to quick and costly ruin of your equipment. "Motorists who do not know, or fail to appreciate these facts are not getting get-ting mamimum service from their equipment and are losing money every ev-ery mile they run their cars. The remedy rem-edy lies in the pro-Tier care of the t're. "Our recommendation is that the air pressure in tires be cheeked once a week and wheel alignment every month at least. We urge our custo- mors to let us provide this service ! The value of it. will be attested by the j greatly increased mileage which the ! tires receive. |
