Most Wear on Car Tires Traceable
To . Improper Wheel Alignment
A tip "to motorists who like
to play it safe — keep your car
on the straight and narrow..
Proper wheel alignment will
• achieve that objective. When
a tire, forcefully hits a chuck-
hole or similarly rough spot,
the result can be. wheel leav-
ing its straight and proper
course. This, in turn, can re-
sult not only in costly tire wear
which can create a safety ha-
ard but also can result in dam-
age to the car's frame.
Approximately, 15 to 20 per
cent of tire wear on all of our
• nation's cars comes from im-
proper wheel alignment. Regu-
lar inspection of tires to make
cartain wheels are rolling cor-
rectly not only will save mo-
torists money but will reduce
the chances of the car "creep-
ing" toward a dangerous road
shoulder or across a center
lane, when the driver might
relax vigilance for a moment.
A wheel off-line can result
in scuff tire damage Within a
mile of driving. Few drivers
realize the tremendous wear
on a tire that, for example,
"toes -in" or "toes -out." Each
10 miles of driving, with this
kind of wheel misalignment,
is equal to the tire wear which
would come if the car were,
dragged sideways for 100 fe

Motorists vvho put extra.
weight in the trunk of their ear
for winter driving may do more
harm than good. Extra weight
disturbs the overall stability
of a car and tends to lift the
'front end off the road surface.
