BALLOON TYRE CARE
In patching the tube of the balloon tyre do not allow repairmen to make the patch too thick. This type of tyre is balanced very carefully, so as to prevent front wheel wobble or shimmy. The tube used actually is thinner than those used in the conventional cord. A patch thus makes more. of a difference in the weight distribution. Better use the new style, low-pressure tyre gauge, so as to know actually just what air pressure is being used. Fifteen to 301 b. is rigjit.for a full balloon type.
