Others are beautifully bedecked

Also notably attractive are those

WHAT is the basic came of tire
deterioration? Why do so many
tires give way from premature trouble
sand boils, tread separation, blow
outs? Have tire-makers done anything
notable in the past five years to solve
the problems of longer wear?
As progressive tire distributor, we set out
to find an answer to these questions. This
' is what we learned:
To produce a rubber
that has not these
weaknesses, two prac
tical tire builders and
two research chemists
spent months in lab
oratory research and
road tests. They at
