It had proved itself to be fundamen- used as an unfair sales inducement rather tally unsound. than as a protection for the buyer. The industry then shifted from the costly advertising of mileage claims to the building of real mileage into the tires. You can warm right up to this bargain Its abuse by unscrupulous drivets con- fronted the manufacturer with the alter- natives of higher prices or lower quality to meet the added costs of unjustified allowances. They will recall how, due to misuse, the definite figure inevitably was pushed beyond all sensible bounds. As a result, tire values have steadily improved, to the bencfit of all users alike, although prices are today the lowest in history. Perhaps its most unfair feature was that it benefited the driver who misused his tires and misrepresented his mileage at the cost of the honest and careful driver who did not abuse his tires. As tires improved in quality the whole theory and practice of ““definite mileage” commitments was pushed into the back- ground and finally rejected by standard tire companies as unfair and uneconomi- cal to the tire-user.
