Heat Plays Havoc
With Synthetic llres
Camden motorists who have their
cars equipped with synthetic tires de
clare that the extreme heat of the
past several freeks has cansed much
damage to tire carcases.
In one Instance a tractor equipped
with a sirnthetic rubber tire was dam
aged when the tire caught fire from
.the intense heat caused hy...tiM"'sun.
. Tire experts declare thgi car*
equipi>ed vdth the Synthetic tires
shquld under no circumstances be
driven at a speed over' 86 miles per
hour. Even in winter driving, tre
mendous temperatures are .built up
within a tire by the constant flexing
of the sidewalls <and triction against
the highway.
It Is jpolnted out that motorists will
do well to watch their tires and have
them recapped b^ore the carcass be
comes too badly damaged. With re
sponsible care a tire can be recapped
from three to five times, thereby ad
ding many thousands of miles to its
life. There is no outlook, it Is claim
ed, for new tires for aayeme.
