will have a say in the final outcome of the ladies event Maintenance is the key to longer tire life By Peter Bohr Contributing Editor Road Track Time to look into the ole mailbag Dear Mr Bohr Please recommend tires for my 1985 Plymouth Reliant The car has miles on it and I just spent or new shocks and an alignment The tires that came with the car are cupped and need replace ment GM Dear GM Besides figuring out in come taxes and the Instructions for a new VCR few tasks la life are more confounding than buying car tires Lets start with the size When your Plymouth left the factory Mr la- shod its wheels with either or P18570R14 tires Now what does that gibberish mean Well the says its a passen gercar tire The 175 or 185 is the tires width in millimeters from side- wall to sidewail The or 70 indi cates the tires aspect ratio the width of the from the ground to the wheel rim The R means its a radial tire and the 13 or 14 means the lire fits a wheel thats either 13 or inches in diameter You have some leeway with the width and the aspect ratio though not with the diameter So if the original tires are you could buy P185 tires In fact if you want better cornering and faster response in emergency maneuvers you should buy these wider lower aspectratio tires Sports cars now days have tires with aspect ratios as low as There are some penalties with the wider lowaspect ratio tires howev er Theyre often more expensive and they tend to ride a little harsher Highperformance tires use soft sticky tread compounds that grip the road like a wad of chewing gum But they also wear out faster Which brings us to some handydan dy rating systems for tires Youll of ten see an S H V or some other letter next to the in a tires size e The S means the tire is Area arenas post schedules

Halton Hills Drive rated for speeds up to 112 An H is for speeds up to and a V is for speeds over 130 Yes I know that when you take your Reliant to the grocery you rarely drive mph let alone 130 But the speed ratings are relevant because they reflect a tires handling traction and heat resistance characteristics A Vrated tire would be overkill for your Plymouth but an Hrated tire especially if you do a lot of highway driving is appropriate Then theres the Uniform Tire Quality Grading or Youll see this rating on a tires as a number followed by two letters for instance The higher the number the longer the expected tread life A 100 is average while the tread on a tire with a 300 would just about last forever The first letter grades the tires stopping ability on a wet surface An A is best while a C means you might possibly stop before careening through the intersection and broadsld- another car The second letter shows the tires resistance to heat build up Tires that generate too much heat are more likely to blow out at high speeds A is cool and C isnt If youre a frugal sort and want tires that last a long time then vou should pay attention to the rat ings But keep in mind that every tire is a compromise and a tire with a or treadwear rating probably wont corner or stop as well as one with a lower rating Besides maintenance is the real key to long tire life By John Hes not an active baseball player anymore and he hasnt broken any re- cords lately But Peter Edward Rose continues to rateheadlines for his off- field problems Pick up just about any newspaper or magazine nowadays and you might read about charges of gambling by the manager of the Cincinnati Reds With all this ink theres probably nothing about Roses career that has not already been written right Wrong Herewith some facts you might not have known about the man called Charlie Hustle Based on his career marks an average season of 550 at bats for Rose would consist of 167 hits 85 runs scored 29 doubles five triples six home runs runs batted in stolen bases walks and strikeouts Many fans still think of Pete Rose as a second baseman the position at which he was National League Rookie of the Year for Cincinnati in 1963 In point of fact however he spent rela tively little of his career at the key stone sack In 3562 big league games Rose ap peared in in the outfield 373 percent at first base 264 per cent at third base 178 percent and only at second base 176 percent To be chosen to play in the Star Game as one of the top players at your position is a significant achieve ment for any major leaguer One of Roses most incredible accomplish ments was making AllStar squads in his career Even more incredible was that Rose was chosen as an AllStar at five different positions first base sec ond base third base left field and right field Most fans know that Rose stands No 1 on baseballs alltime hit list with These are broken down as follows singles 746 doubles triples and 160 home runs That works out to total bases or at 90 feet per base a total of 517680 feet traveled during his career Put another way Rose stroked miles worth of base hits in his 24year career The only players to hit for more miles were Hank Aaron 1169 Stan Musial Willie Mays Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth Pete Roses record of 4256 hits was accumulated in 14053 at bats a total which is another alltime mark Ty Cobb in second place with hits had 11429 at bats If Cobbs rate of hitting is projected for the same number of at bats as Rose the Georgia Peach would end up with hits or nearly more than Charlie Hustle GREEN MEADOWS

the remainder of the season it appears that the Reds will see an end to their streak of consecu tive secondplace finishes in the tional League West That will cost Pete Rose a ignominious record He is
