Abstract
The study of the wear of automobile tires has been made to. determine the destructive effect of different types of road surfaces on the tread rubber in order that, as far as1 possible, surfaces may be so improved as to make the cost of building and maintaining road surfaces and of operating the traffic over them a minimum. The cost of tires is one element of the cost of operating motor vehicles and may well be studied. The University of Kansas, co-operating with the United States Bureau of Public Roads, and the State College of Washington, have conducted a series of tests in an effort to determine the loss of tread rubber caused by several types of road surfaces.
