HOW TO TAG A TIRE. 



When the average man tags a tire he ties it so the tag hangs 

 on the outer rim. The most natural way to move a tire is to 

 roll it, whereby the tag is often damaged or torn from the tire. 

 The right way is to tie the tag so that it hangs on the inside. 

 Then another tag should be securely fastened to the inside of 

 the tire.
