IS HELD ADVISABLE Service Experts Figure, However, New Tire Can Run 6,000 Miles Without Trouble. Most motorists carry spare tires nowa- | days despite the fact that tire trouble —when one uses reputable makes—is hardly ever experienced. Service experts figure that a new tire can be run for about 6,000 miles before it is likely to have to be taken from the rim because of puncture or other minor trouble. Many motorists have had the | experience of running a tire its entire life without having ever to remove it from the rim. it is advisable and economical to carry a spare tire, for if trouble is experienced the spare can be applied in a few minutes and very little | time lost. Without a spare one is likely to have to ride on the rim or on the flat tire, which generally ruins either one or | both. But a spare tire which is not in good condition for emergency use is little better than no spare at all. | . Motorists are advised by tire men to have their spare tires inspected fre- quently to make sure that air pressure is adequate and that the tire will actu- - 2lly perform in an emergency. If, how- ever, you have tires of varying age and condition on your car it is best to use the least serviceable one for the spare—so long as it is in fairly good shape. This sounds iike peculiar advice. However, on thinking it over you will discover it is sound—from the car owner’s stand- point . _For example, assume you have five tires on a car and that four of them are almost new and that the ffth is about half worn out. If this fifth tire is used on a wheel | the chances are that it will wear out | long before any of the other three new ones—so you will actually have to buy & new tire %o replace it quite a bit sooner than if you had it in your spare tire rack, with the four first-class tires run- ning on the wheels.
