Neglected
Tires
Potential
Hazard
Neglected, bald or abused
automobile tire* are potential
hazard* that could lead to a
serious accident and personal
injury, the Tire Industry
Safety Council warns.
"Underinflation is an area
of major concern to the tire
industry," according to Mal
colm R. Lovell, Jr., Council
Chairman. "Inattention to it
could jeopardize the safety of
a motorist and others he
meets on the road.
"Underinflation. for ex
ample, causes tires to flex
more so they tend to heat up
and wear faster," Lovell
said. "It can also cause tire
failure which in turn can lead
to a sudden disablement and
a possible vehicle crash.
"Although the tire In
dustry is producing the best
tires ever. It la necessary for
a vehicle owner to check the
air pressure regularly. Infla
tion should be checked every
two or three weeks, and
before long trips when the
tires are cold. Your vehicle
owner's manual will tell you
what the pressure should
be." he said.
"Tire inflation directly
affect* the load-carrying abi
lity of a tire. Under federal
safety standard*, passenger
car tire* are permanently
labeled on the sidewall with
their maximum load capacity
at a certain inflation pressure
usually 32 pound* per square
inch." Lovell added.
Lovell also noted that
underinflated tire* can re
duce gasoline mileage by a*
much a* five percent because
they do not roll a* easily a*
properly inflated tires.
"Worn out or damage
tire*, improperly balanced
tire* or misaligned front ends
are other area* that could
lead to tire problem*. How-
ever, underinflation •* the
most common cause," Lovell
said.
"Proper tire inflation is
one of the most neglected
aspect* of maintenance and
care related to passenger
automobiles in the United
States," the National Busi
ness Council for Consumer
Affair* found in a 1972 study.
"Safety is our major con
cern." said Lovell, citing an
in-depth study of 1,305 traffic
accident* by the University of
Indiana
"Highway safety
researcher* found that only
bald or underinflated tire*
were involved in automobile
accident*. No properly main
tained tires were involved.
"This study points to one
thing-neglect. Proper tire
care is essential for safety."
Lovell said a free Con
sumer Tire Guide may be
obtained by sending a stam
ped. self addressed, busi
ness size envelope to the Tire
Industry Safety Council, Box
