Tire Cost Is Coining Down That is, the cost per mile. Miller Tire mileage has in late years almost doubled, through perfection in tire making. In the factory tests — rear-wheel tests under hard conditions—Miller Cords last year averaged 15,000 miles. The new Miller tread has added 25% to the tread wear. Since its adoption, not a single Miller Tire has come back with the tread gone. Both maker and inspector must sign every Miller Tire. Both are penalized if a tire comes back. Every tire user owes himself a test of the Miller Tire. Its exceptional mileage is talked everywhere today. Under this plan, defects have become a rarity. It is giving hundreds of thousands of users new criterions of tire service. It is winning contests where a score of makes are given million-mile comparisons, Give it a chance to show.
