| Michelin .Tests
The Weight Test j
No. I
It Stands to reason that the mileage which you get out of a tire j
depends very largely on the amount of quality rubber and fabric
which it contains. About the best method of determining the !
quantity of these mileage-giving materials is to weigh the time.
Extra weight almost always means more rubber and fabric.
In selecting tires, therefo,re, have your dealer weigh for you j
all the different makes you are considering. And, everything else
being equal, give your preference to the heaviest in quality mate
rials.
MICHELINS 12 TO 15 PER CENT HEAVIER.
If you make this test you will find an astonishing difference !
in tires. For instance, nine popular non-skids (34 x 4 size) weigh
as follows:
Michelin _26 lbs.
Second Tire-25 lbs. !
Third Tire-22(4 lbs.
Fourth Tire_22 lbs.
Fifth Tire_22% lbs.
Sixth Tire-21%lbs.
Seventh Tire-21 lbs.
Eighth Tire_20 lbs.
Ninth Tire_18%lbs.
1 Concerning all the non-skids made, the Michelin Universal
weighs 15 to 15 per c-nt. more than the average, the percentage i
varying slightly with the size of the tire.
This extra weight due to more quality rubber and fabric means
that conditions being equal you should get extra mileage from a
Michelin. Yet Michelins cost no more than ordinary tires.
