Most Tire Repairs Are Temporary,
Reports National Safety Council
Careful drivers have their
tire pressure checked regu-
larly, as the National Safety
Council advises. However, in
the event of a flat tire, do you
know how to have it repaired
properly? Many of the tires
supposedly receiving "per-
manent repair" do not meet

Here's a Most
Revealing Test
One of the most reveal-
ing tests an experienced
mechanic can make for
you is a compression test,
in which all spark plugs
are removed and pressure
readings are compared
with specifications.
This procedure helps
Your mechanic determine
if the problem is in valves,
rings or both. Such a test
usually is part of a major
engine tune-up, or may
cost about $5.00 or $6.00
when done as an individ-

A compression test can
be the first step toward
putting new life in the old
car.
100 miles of travel at speeds
not exceeding 50 miles per
hour. It is recommended that
these temporary repairs be
used only in emergencies.
For safe and permanent
repair, a tire must be sealed
from the inside. The use of
an outside plug is only a
temporary repair. Unless the
tire is removed from the
wheel, it is impossible to
know if the inner layer is in-
tact and not broken, damage
which is critical to the tire.
Drive with care, and get
there!
