If he keeps on forgetting about them he is soon without rubber on his tires. Checkup by Experienced Operators. It is possible that more motorists are going to maintenance stations to have their tires checked than ever before. (This incidentally, is one of the essential DO's.) Motorists there will learn that their tires are unsafe (alas!) if the fabric, breaker strip, or outer body ply is exposed. Also that if the tire has cuts or snags greater than an inch in any direction and deep enough to expose body fabric, it is then in the unsafe condition. Fur thermore, if the tire has a bulge it is dangerous to use, for patches or boots are not sufficient protection. Then, too, another way to learn if the tires are unsafe is either to look over the wheel and tire yourself, or have the garage attendant see if bolts, nut or lug are bent, cracked, or if the rim or wheel flange is de fective. Then after you have made sure that your tires and wheels are OK, your next best procedure is to get yourself in the habit of using war time driving rules to conserve your tires as long as possible. Here is a list of rules, compiled by the safety council. You, of course, can add to them. 160 O IL -C O N S U M PTI OH FLEISCHMANNS y . 7OP CKART 2 .
