LOW PRESSURE TIRES
While- the voice of argument is still in evidence for and against, an American tire company states positively that the lo>vcr pressures have "come to stay." Tests indicate, it says, that the difference in petrol consumption, with low pressures as compared to higher pressure tires is insignificant; however, mileage obtained from low pressure tires should be equal to or higher than that from higher pressures. As for safety, "there is apparently no more hazard than with Regular balloon tires; in fact, there is less probability of tho lower pressure 'blowing put. "The change from high pressure to low pressure tires has been going on rapidly, and there is overy indication that it will continue at a still moro rapid rate."
