ever before in llie history of motoring. Car owners took the 

 tire-care problem seriously. They were surprised themselves at 

 the saving realized, and the added mileage they got from their 

 lires. They saw the folly of their previous extravagance. 



The accompanying illustrations show some of the most com- 

 monly neglected injuries to pneumatic tires. 



INJURED BY CHAINS. 



A. — The result of improper application of tire chains. Leave 

 chains just loose enough so that every time the wheel turns the 

 cross chains will not strike the same spot in the tire. 



SKIDDING. 



B. — The effect of skidding, caused by a sudden application of 

 the brakes. Part of the face of this tire has been scraped od. 



BLOW-OUTS. 



C. — The result of neglect. First, the tire was cut entirely 

 through by some sharp object. An inside temporary patch was 

 applied but a permanent repair postponed too long. The tem- 

 porary patch gradually pulled away from its original position 

 and was forced through the break. Whenever inside patches are 

 used, an outside emergency band should also be applied, and both

PNEUMATIC TIRES AND THEIR CARE. 



WILL car owners continue to practice the economy methods 

 adopted during the war? This is the big question to-day. 



With tire manufacturers gradually resuming pre-war produc- 

 tion and as the supply of tires reaches normal, will owners soon 

 forget war's tire lesson and return to the old way of negligence 

 and waste? 



Statistics compiled by The B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. disclose 

 a tremendous increase in the sale of tire repair material and 

 accessories during 1918. Tire sleeves, blow-out patches and 

 plastic for plugging hoks were used on a far greater scale than 



removed and a permanent repair made as quickly as possible 

 while the injury is small. 



UNDERINFLATION. 



D. — The damage done by underinflation. The wavy condition 

 of the tread of this tire is due to its having been run soft, with 

 insufficient air, with consequent loosening from the fabric 

 through no fault of manufacture. Most tire manufacturers have 

 inflation schedules which they are very anxious to place in the 

 hands of every tire user. 



NEGLECTED CUTS. 



E. — .\ casing with two-thirds of its life wasted. Neglected 

 cuts in the tough rubber tread always cause it to blister. Sand
