Then camo a lime when the etnndard manufacturer put guarantees of from 6,000 to 7,000 mile behind their products. .

Thone figures Unit used to be phe nomenal fado Into insiKrlficanca com piircd to present day mileage records. Nowadays you think of 10,000 miles op. a lire a an ordinary run, no more than should be expected of a good tire under average conditions. In faot, If you happen to have a blowout under 1,000 miles you let out a terrible howl. Many motorists travel 10,000 to 13. 000 miles on tires of late construction before experiencing blowout trouble. Others often run from H.000 to 1,- 000. The stee of one's car and the type of roads on which one Is accustomed to travel have a bearing, of course, in these records. The handling of one's car enters Into mileage records, too. A careful driver naturally gets many more miles out of his equipment thun one who abuses his tires recklessly. "Very frewently enthuslast'c driv ers write In to the factory to tell us of their record runs," said an official of the Firestone Tire A rtubber Com pany recently. "The figure are not surprising when one considers the Im provement of manufacturing methods In the tire Industry. "Constant experimenting and de velopment of the processes of the larg er, reputable concerns Is responsible for the Increased mileage enjoyed by the car owners. With the develop ment of processes tnat f'gure In the actual construction of tire, the lead ing manufacturers have widened their producing capacity on such a scale thut quantity production has helped to combat price Increases."
