You've owned your car
almost three years and it
is practically paid for.
Now you are debating
whether to trade it in for
a new one or hold on to it
for a while longer.
If you have been main-
taining your car regularly,
chances are there is still
lots of life left in it. How-
ever, if your maintenance
has been hit or miss, then
you should give your ve-
hicle a bumper to bumper

With both. safety and
budget in mind, the Tire
Industry Safety Council
offers some basic tire se-
lection guidelines. s
FIRST, go by the book.
Before considering op-
tions to the tires that
came with the car, check
the owner's manual; a
dealer or the tire instruc-
tions affixed to the car,
Tire replacement recom-
mendations for any vehi-
cle should take into ac-
count size limitations, car
handling efficiency and
other safety considera-
tions.
Never select a smaller
tire than those that came

ed to carry the vehicle
load.
There are three tire
types or constructions —
bias, belted bias and radial
tires. All must meet gov-
ernment safety standards.
SECOND, play the tire
mating and mixing game
correctly.
It is best to try and keep
the same construction and
size of tire on all four
wheels.
Never mix different tire
constructions on the same
axle.
If a pair of radial tires
is used with bias or belted
bias tires, the radials al-
ways go on the rear axle.
THIRD, If your old tires
wear out before you think
they should, have an ex-
pert check them to find
out why. It may be that
better tire maintenance

new tires last longer,
