Michelin Tests
The Width Test
No. 3
IT IS EASY to file off a point but not so easy to year away a
broad, flat surface. A non-skid tread that consists of small, sharp
projections cannot resist the wearing action of the road so well as j
can a tire with a broad, flat traction-surface.
i
It is, therefore, important in considering the merits of various |,
non-skids that you determine how much of the tread is raised—in
other words, how large a surface rests on the road.
;
An excellent way to do this is to get a piece of wire screen and
lay it over one unit of the design on the tread, then compare the i
number of squares that fall on the raised portion with the number j
that fall on the portion that is not raised.
Michelin Universal Has Large
Traction Surface
In the Michelin Universal, for example, three-quarters of the
entire non-skid tread is raised, thus forming a broad flat traction
surface that means extra mileage. Make the “screen test” for your
self. It will confirm Michelin’s superior wearing qualities.
