Another strong argument in fa vor of new tires for the winter sea son, la tho discomfort that results from blowouts, slow leaks, punc tures, etc., during chilly weather, when It Is necessary to bravo the winter breezes for several minutes while making a tire change. Par ticularly In .this section, where the mercury often .hovers around zero., aided and abetted by brisk winds, great discomfort and at times oven danger of freezing, results from be ing improperly equipped with good tires. A lire change In the summer Is just a few minutes task, but in the winter, with hands and body chilled, it muy develop into a very difficult and uncomfortable job.
