TUBE AND TYRE MILEAGE.
The cause of much tyre trouble is due to the failure of motorists to discard old tubes when they are no longer dependable. Old tubes do not hold the air as they should, and a loss of 31b. in a balloon tyre will cause injury to the body of the tyre, thus reducing its mileage. To get the greatest service from a balloon tyre the motorist must keep the pressure at the minimum recommended for the size of tyre he uses. If his tubes are old, and will not hold the air at the right pressure, he is well advised to replace them with new ones. Such tubes will pay for themselves by the extra mileege he will get out of his tyres—Goodyear News.
