experts have worked for three /ears.
It consists of a thick extra tread,
immensely wear-resisting, vulcanised
onto our regular tread. The extra
tread consists of deep-cut blocks, grasping
the road surface by countless edges
and angles.
The blocks widen out at the base, thus
distributing the strain. The grooves
can't fill up. The tread remains efficient
a great deal longer than any
other non-skid tread, when it does
wear off, there's our regular tread below
it.

en and a costly one.
lly No matter how hard tlie steel of which
al- the studs are made, constant use will
ds eventually cause them to wear down, j
This Is proven by the fact that the best I
cutlery steel cannot resist the friction of j
ir. a grindstone.
rv In the districts where the roads axe
,n. uniformly good the studs are very longce
lasting, and even on rough roads they
I will stand a great deal of work. But In

Even though the envelope may still be '
In good condition, the leather covering I
?f should never - be made to serve as a tread,
e- j(g purpose is simply to afford greater
h* protection against possible punctures and
to give extra support to the steel studs.
at Invariably the total destruction o: the
tire quiclrty follows when the leather
tread is . pressed Into this service. : >r

is of no further use after the leather

m Another very important Ihir.v that
motorists should remember is the .set
that" the efficiency of a steei -indded

ra upon the .ait pressure maintained in It.
