Announcement has just been made i by the United States Tire Company, : through its president, Mr. James , Xewton Gunn. that a recent perform- . ance of Un ited States Not)by' Tread ; Cord Tires for trucks bid fair to rev- , olutionize the truck tire business. I These tires used on a one and one half ton truck, of similar specifica- j tions to military trucks, proved far j more economical of gasoline and oil, ! and gave greater gross mileage under ; almost unbelievable imppossible con- - Ultinnc tKan i rl tnirk tires have ! ever done. Beyond this operating economy was ' the equally amazing fact that, after ! 4,288 miles of the severest kind of transport conditions, the truck was found to be inpractically perfect con dition. This was possible only be cause the pneumatic tires absorbed fully 00 per cent of the terrific road vibration to which the truck chassis mechanism is subjecd when running on solid tires. The test was made under thp per sonal supervision of First Lieutenant J W O'Mahoney. a former United States motor-truck transport expprt, who until last March was in command of Motor Truck Company No. ;;:. stationed on the Mexican border.
