IN previous talks we have
t shown you that the dura
bility of r tire depends on the
quantity and quality of the
materials used; and we have
already shown you how to
determine the quantity.
But you cannot gauge the
quality of rubber nnd fabric
in a tire simply by looking at
it. You must be guided by
the experience nnd reputation
of the'tire maker.
