THE SPARE TYRE
Avoiding Deterioration
It is not realised by all owners of motor vehicles that tho life of motor tyres not in regular use can be nearly doubled by keeping them in a cool, dark place. Tyres not in use should not be exposed to light and heat for any great length of time; otherwise deterioration sets in. This advice applies not only to tyres hung up in one’s garage, but also to tho tyre o nthc spare wheel. Owing to the greater wear and dependability of the present-day tyre long periods now frequently elapse before the average motoris thas need to use his spare wheel, and unless the tyre is protected by some form of cover it suffers more harm through exposure than it would through thousands of miles of normal use. ’Jhe best plan to adopt in regard to the spare wheel is occasionally to put it into use, for it is better'to wear the tyre out than let it die through deterioration.
