S. Tire en- gineers into the causes of early and uneven tread wear on Balloon Tires. + This study demonstrated very clearly that the round tread as used on most high pressure tires is impractical for Ballcon Tires. Due to the peculiar shape a round-tread Balloon Tire takes when under load and moving, and to the consequent working of those parts of the tread on which the weight is concen- trated, the tread wears in two bands, one on each side of the center of the tire. (Note Tire A.) This makes the tread wear unevenly and quickly. The new Flat “Low-Pressure Tread” cures all this. Due to its flat contour and the larger area of road contact,the weight carried per square inch of tread is greatly reduced. Because of this better load distribution there is much less tread distortion and . tread movement —two factors which add to early tread wear in round-tread Balloon Tires. Because of the greater road contact there is better trac- tion. There is also better non- skid protection because the flexible outer row of tread blocks is in full contact with the road. Steering, too, is easier with the new Flat “Low-Pres- sure Trea Washington Garage, 1212 E St. N.W. L. M. Stallings, 500 New Jersey Ave. NW. But above all, the new Flat “Low-Pressure Tread” permits running the tire ‘on the low in- flation necessary to give real Balloon Tire cushioning—with- out causing early, uneven and disfiguring tread wear. This is of great importance because a few poundsincrease,even fouror five pounds, in air pressure in a Balloon Tire will greatly affect its riding quality and comfort. Why U. S. Royal Balloon Cords present ‘“‘The Balloon Tire principle at its Best” Here is the tire that combines more exclusive points of superiority than any other tire you ever used or heard of : Sprayed Rubber—pure rubber derived direct from the Latex without acids or smoke. Latex-treated Web-Cord — the only cord construction in which the individual cords are webbed to- gether with pure rubber Latex, with- out injurious chemicals. This Latex-treated Web-Cord is not only strong but extremely flexible. It permits the tire to flex freely with- out injury even at extremely low air pressures. Flat Band Method of Build- ing—insuring uniform position and tension of all the cords in the tire. Each cord does its full proportionate share of the work. The New, Flat “Low-Pres-| sure Tread”—adding 22 per cent more tractive surface on the road, doing away with uneven wear, and giving you many more miles out of your tire investment. * * * Specify U.
