Balloon Tires hard
or soft? .
THE original idea back of balloon tires if the
added comfort of riding on a soft cushion
of air.
Every extra pound of pressure that must be
put into a balloon tire to make it serviceable
takes away just so much from the cushioning.
Many balloon tires today are run harder than
they should be for maximum cushioning.
This is done to save the tires from excessive
wear.
But here is a Balloon Tire that need not be
over-inflated to save it from early and uneven
tread wear or tread separation.
You can run U. S. Royal low pressure Balloon
at true low air pressure and it won't hurt them.
Because-
They have the new "Low-Pressure Tread,"
which prevents early and uneven tread wear'
And they are built of Latex-treated Web Cord,
which gives maximum strength and flexibility.
No matter what your experience with other
balloon tires may have been
Do not over-inflate these tires to save them
from quick and excessive wear.
It is not necessary, 'a
