The heat and added strain shorten tho life of tho rubber, fabric and cords In tho tire. Under-inflated tires nro suHJect to cord breaks more readily thnn tires cari-ying correct nir pressure. A sharp blow may easily crush the sldewalls or tread against the rim causing -a break : or bruise.

According to tho lDcal manager this new tube Is composed of pnro gum rubber and being free from compounds is prnelically non-porous and will re tain original air pressure - for a long period of time. "The Poison tube hIiows remark able nbility in cushioning the sharp blows that would ordinarily break the cords or fabric and ab sorbs the shock without nny dnm ago to the tire. The heavy inner crescent of highly compressed I'tira rubber distributes the force of the blow over a wide ' nrea thereby pre venting cord breaks and ruptures," he saya.
