FOR THE DURATION
“EVERY OUNCE OF RUBBER IS A SACRED TRUST” THE CAR OWNER’S CREED I will drive my car only when absolutely necessary—avoiding extra trips by doubling-up with my neighbours whenever possible. I will drive at a moderate speed to avoid burning up my tyres. I will stop and start my car slowly and slow downs on turns to avoid grinding off the tyre tread. I will park carefully to avoid scraping and bumping my tyres against curbs. I will keep brakes adjusted to avoid spotty tread wear. I will use my brakes carefully, shifting into second gear going down steep hills, to avoid excessive tread wear. I will keep my wheels correctly adigned and balanced to avoid uneven tread wear. I will have my tyres cross-switched at least every 5000 miles ,to increase my total mileage. I will have the air pressure of- all my tyres checked every week to get the greatest possible mileage. I will have my tyres and tubes inspected regularly as a precaution against further trouble and wasted rubber.
