That "Spare"

WHEN carrying a spare tyrs In addition to that normally oarried on the spare wheel, as on a long tour or reliability trial, it is a good plan. to arrange that this tyre shall not be an absolutely new one. As anybody who has had much to do with the fitting of new tyres knows only too well, the fitting of a brand-new tyre is, as a rule, a far more strenuous ancf difficult job. than the fitting of one which has been used, even if it has only run a few hundred miles.

The presumption is that the additional spare tyre may have to be fitted under the most difficult conditions, probably by the side of the road. It is, therefore, as well to fit the brand-new cover m the comfort of the garage with all usual facilities, and to carry as an additional spare a cover that has done some considerable Mileage. The fitting of this will be a very much simpler and quicker business.
