RUSTY RIMS RUIN TYRES.
One of the greatest enemies to the life of a tyre is rust in the rim, as this rots the 'canvas and may cause the • early destruction of a cover that would otherwise be good for a, long period. A periodical removal of the tyre is the only means provided at present for discovering the rust, and the best way of treating it is to paint the rim with one of the rust-preventing compositions sold for the purpose. Should this not be available, ordinary -black lead will answer fairly, well. Covers should be removed at least three or four times a - year, and if necessary freed from rush and repainted.
