It is not generally known what an important effect weather conditions have on tyre life. Water is a very effective lubricant for rubbor, so that in wet weather the rate at which rubber is worn away as the tyre rubs against tho road is much reduced. · Some recent tests illustrate the offect of wet and dry roads on tyro life. These results are confirmed by service statistica which show that tyre wear in the average British summer is about 2 times greater than in the average British winter. This is not entirely owing to differences in the wetness of the road surface, because the higher tyre tem-) peratures achieved in also play their part in reducing lyre life.
