DAILY EAST OEEGONIAN, PENDLETON, OREGON, SATURDAY EVENIN, SEPTEMBER 2, 1922. OMEDIE PROBLEM ONE OF MANY FACTORS A motorist can easily settle for himself the question whether he should equip his car with oversize pneumatic tires. Only two considera tions are involved and the problem is by no means a difficult one. One of the elements for consideration, is the weight the tires arc called on to carry and the other relates to the degree of inflation at which the motorist prefers to. use his tires. V Car manufacturers usually apply as original equipment tires of a size suf ficiently large to meet the ear weights when equipped .with standard acces sories and carrying a full comple ment of passengers. To support this load, however, it is necessary to mnin tain the full inflation pressure, as .leeommended for the size of tire used. With respect to the weight of the load, It Is surprising how rapidly extra car equipment such as spare tires, bumpers and other accessories run up the load the tire is called on to iarry. ' Added WelB'ht Considered With this added weight and the ad dition of an extra passenger or two occasionally, tho tirea are soon carry ing a load that is much in excess of the load the car manufacturer origin ally figured on when he determined the original tire size to be used. - On .the subject of inflation It has been found that car owners 'n their desire for greater riding comfort are prone to reduce the nir pressure in their, tires, runnfng them much below the pressure recommended by the tire manufacturers, a practice which leads to early tire failure. If a car Is subject to frequent over loading, oversize tires should he used, according to the technical service de partment of the United states Tire company. Morever, to do away with the operation of nndorinflated tires and to enable the car user to gain the maximum comfort possible consistent with good tire mileage, It is necessary to use oversize tires that are capable of carrying the car load at a lower proportionate pressure. ' It Is clear that if it were not pos 3 C YOU WILL LIKE OUR MARKET We're mighty careful in the selection of bur Groceries, and see to it in every instance that all canned goods, vegetables, etc., are fresh and wholesome.

The. tire manufacturer has recognized this problem and. has produced an oversize tire for each s'ze of rim. thus enabling him to eciuin I hli, ftiv with rtvi'ui'o tti'fa f n r- tti v. tra loads. . ',v - Wheel Change Sometimes Needed -Cases exist where the single- oveiW lizing of tires is not sufficient to meer me owner s neects. in-mai case n is fcecessary that he either reduce his' loads or change ihis wheels and rims to make possible the double-aversizin of his tires..-,. It is not considered good practice to double-oversize tires with out changin gth.e rim equipment. Most car users who carry more than the normal'1 load will find that the single oversizing of tires will show an improvement in their tire mileage. an improvement that warrants the extra cost of ,the oversize tires. As to the use of oversize tires for Fords and cars of that class, it Is exceedingly im portant tha Oversize '-tires be used when more than normal loads are car ried, for these cas operate very close to the maxfjrfym capacity of the sizes furnished ap original equipment. A change from fabric to cord tires will usually meet the need of oversizing in this class. . 1 Tteported by State Highway Commission.
