In 1907, for every 1000 miles a motorist travelled it cost him on the average about £l6 13s 4d for tyre wear. Today, the average cost for these high-pressure tyres per 1000 miles of travel is in the region of £l3 Ils 3d, a cost generally bettered when modern balloon tyres are used, which is equivalent to less than a penny a tyre for every ten miles travelled.
