CARE OF THE TYRES
It is not uncommon during a country tour to inflict on the side walls of the tyros one or two small cuts which expose the cords inside to the weather. Whqn this happens, it is very important that the tyre so damaged be taken to a garage or service station so that the cut can be vulcanised and the cord carcase given the protection it originally had. If the tyre is left unattended, water and dirt will enter, causing what is known as a sand blister, and within a surprisingly short time the cords will rot away, disintegrate, and the tube inside will blow out. And because the cords in one spot have been ruined, what otherwise is a good tyre will have to he thrown away.
