TIRE MILEAGE i RECORD PAYSj Few people realize the importance; of keeping an accurate record of thej service rendered breach tire, though j every ono knows that some of their j tires render much better service than ! otriers. It is a simple matter to jot i down the speedometer reading each timo a tire ia changed or a new onei put on, yet how few motorists give their tires this consideration. Large users, such as the stage lines1 operating a fleet of cars and large business firms, arc very exacting In: keeping such records, for they havo! proved tiro expense can be reduced j 5 to 50 per cent, by buying tho tires best suited to their use. Individual car owners are, of course, not in a. position to carry on experiments on such n large scale, but nevertheless, by a few experiments, they can prove to their own satisfaction which tires are the best suited for the particular service which their tires arc called upon to render. "Tire buying," says K. E. Smith of the Utah Tire & Repair company, distributors dis-tributors for Miller Geared-to-the Road Tires, "on a short while ago resolved re-solved itself down to which tire could be bought cheapest. That day is gone, however, for people now reallzo that the selection of a tire is no less important im-portant than the selection of the motor mo-tor vehicle Itself. Million-mile tests have demonstrated that the tire mileage mile-age of various tirc3 vary greatly, jil-though jil-though the mlleago rendered by each make will average very uniformly. This can be proven easily by tho individual indi-vidual car owner by selecting two tires of different makes and keeping a record rec-ord of the mileage." nn
