Tire Prices Are Down To a Pre-War Level

reduction in prices was announced by all of the large tire companies late last fall and with this drop the cost of tires was put on a pre-war basis. This reduction has been in keeping with other commodities and in many instances it exceeds the decline in other lines. Then, too, the mileage guarantee is mucli greater than it was before the war. A guarantee of 3,500 miles was the greatest given. Now the guarantee is unlimited in many cases the idea being that the tire must give satisfaction. Not only the dealers, but the large manufacturers, stand back of this guarantee.

Are You Saving Money By Driving on Old, Worn Tires?

Tires, whose tread is gone, tires that are worn down to the fabric, do hot give the traction of new tires. As a result of vhis it takes more power to run your car. This means an increased gasoline cost that soon surpasses the amount supposedly saved on old tires. There is danger, too, in driving on tires that are liable to blow out at any moment. This is especially true of tires on the front wheels. A blowout while driving at a high rate of speed might easily throw a car off the road or swerve its course into passing vehicles or pedestrians.
