Chdck up on your balloon tire
pressures--you may find that
you have been riding on "high'
pressure balloons ff and losing
the advantages of true low air
'. pressure.
THE whole purpose of low pressure cushion
ing is defeated if your balloon tires' are
pumped up too hard. ,(
Of course, it may be that the kind of balloons
you are using must be run hard in order to
protect the tires themselves..
If you find this is true, you will be glad to
know the facts about . S. Royal Balloons.
These tires provide all the comfort that balloon
tires are intended to give, and yet you need have
no fear about the life of the tires when run at
proper cushioning pressure.
U. S. Royal Balloons are built to be run at f rue
low air pressures, '.''".;
They have the new flat ".ow-Pressure Tread."
This tread has far greater area of road con
tact than a round treadi and distributes the
weight eOenfy over the entire tread surface.
, That is why U. Si Royal Balloons wear slowly,
evenly and gracefully. . ;
They have the further advantage of Latex-'
treated Web Cord construction a U. S. Rubber
Company invention that gives the ideal combi
nation of strength and flexibility essential to real .
balloon cushioning.
Ride on U.VS. Royal Balloons and you will
know what a world of comfort genuine low ,
pressure can give. f1 , -.
