Useful Information on Loads and Inflation Pressures for Tyres of Given Sizes.
TA T not every pneumatic 1_ tyre receives unremitting attention for the purpose of securing the maintenance of the correct inflation pressure goes without saying, and sometimes neglect is at the bottom. Often, however, the reason is actually ignorance of the fact that tyres are fragile, particularly when the proper pressure is not preserved.
Tyre equipment is one of the most Important parts of the motor vehicle, for without it the vehicle cannot perform its required function and upon the service given by the tyres depends to a great extent the economic use of the vehicle, the comfort of the occupants and the satisfaction that ensues from the operation of a reliable product. The tyres, if well maintained, are not only a factor in reliable running but help to safeguard the chassis and the vehicle against road shocks.
The manufacturers of tyres have conducted considerable research to ascertain the correct tyre sections for certain loads and the proper inflation pressures per square inch for those sections and loads, and the facts are clearly shown in a load and inflation table for wired-type pneumatic tyres just issued as one of the data sheets of the Institution of Automobile Engineers. We give this table below :—
