er than on the front, due to the excessive amount of hard usage from skidding on truck stops and from spinning the wheels' on quick, starts. Even not considering these facts, the rear tires are bound to wear faster because of the work of car propul-sion. "Again, the casing may be cut severely and a shoe inserted. This weak spot will soon be spread larger if the tire is allowed to remain on the rear wheel, but will usually give Song service if transferred to the front, where it is not subjected to the harsh action instigated by the drive shaft. "Tire manufacturers realize these conditions, and when they place a

10,000 mile guarantee on a tire, it means that it must go at least 10,000 miles on the rear wheels. For this reason it is frequently possible to se ; cure 12,000 or 15,000 miles from the
