IMPROVING TIRES Th e average tire consomption per rar prr annum at present is 2.74. Th i~ figure stands out against 4.50 t i r e~ per car per annum in 1915, and is in dicative of the improvements in t ire co nstruction. The rates of con sumption decreased steadily from 1915 to 1921. Since 1921 it has remained ahout the same, and manufacturers are of the opinion that approximately 2.7 tires per per annum is about as low as the rate can go.
