Following are some snow tire tips from The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company for safer driving, better hand­ ling and longer wear: Match your snow tires with your front tires with respect to tire construction. A "mix" of different types of tires may cause car hand­ ling problems. For example, if you have radial tires on the front axle, you should put radial snow tires on the rear. Maintain air pressure Maintain proper air pres­ sure. Contrary to popular belief, underinflated tires do not provide better traction. Check tire pressure when temperatures fall. A tire loses about one pound of pressure for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Even with the extra rust-proofing ear makers are putting into their products, owner neglect can lead to serious body damage. Minor dents and nicks should be tended to as they become evident, according to the DeVilbiss Company, man­ ufacturer of spray paint equipment. PRESSURE CHECK. -- Even trained test drivers at Fire* stone Test Center in Fort Stockton, Tex., do not rely on eyesight to check tire pressure. Here, a driver uses a gauge to check his tires following a test run. Firestone urges mo­ torists to check their inflation pressures at least once a month to help assure maximum tire life. jamb.

Europa Motors tokos spocial prido in bringing to McHonry aroo rosidonts ono of tho world's most unlquo automobiles. Soob has boon oxporting cars to tho Unitod Statos for twonty-ono yoars, and sinco tho boginning thoy hovo maintained tho dosign philosophy and qualitios which havo sot thoir car apart. Anyono who drivos a Saab will rocognizo at onca that ho is a complotoly active participant in a uniquo driving experience. The Saab is designed for driver control. Its owner commanding total response as well as excep­ tional performance from his car. A number of features contribute to the Saab's respon­ siveness. Saab was designed originally with front wheel drive, increasing the car's traction and safety on wet, sandy or snowy roods. With the engine directly over the front drive wheels, the car has a 60/40 weight ratio, giving the driver excellent control whether ac­ celerating, negotiating a curve, or driving through heavy crosswinds. Saab's understeer design allows the driver to maintain a stable course throughout a curve without rear-wheel breakaway or fear of spinning out. Here in McHonry County where our beautiful coun­ tryside is entwined with curves and corners, Saab will perform like no other automobile in its class, foreign or domestic. Saab was designed for steel belted radials placing more tread on the road for a firmer grip and improved response on turns, naturally giving improved driver control. Saab has never been noted as one of the most glamorous cars on the road, yet its excellent perfor­ mance is noted on today's road racing circuits. Many of the features that enhance this safety and performance are not easily seen by the eye. Once you know the concept and have driven the car at your leisure you do not have to be an engineer or rally enthusiast, only a consumer seeking the best for your money, to ap­ preciate and understand the Saab of today or the highly ingenious car of yesterday. - "cold," that is, before the car has been driven or at least one hour after it has been driven. This is because tire pressure increases some­ what when a car is driven. Recommended inflation pressures take this increase into account. To find the correct pressure for your tires, look in your car own­ er's manual, on the glove box door or on the door- Storing snow tires Consider having your snow tires mounted on extra wheels so they can remain mounted during storage. Re­ duce air pressure 10 to IS pounds during storage and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight < and electric motors. Do not rotate studded tires to different wheel po­ sitions. Be sure to check your state's laws concerning the use of studded snow tires. Some states have posted limited periods dur­ ing which snow tires may 'Imported Cars I Are Not f Foreign f 1 Us."- AM be used, while a few others have banned them altogeth­ er. Many tire companies, including Firestone, manu­ facture so-called "studless" snow tires that provide trac­ tion comparable to studded tires on ice and snow. Remove promptly Remove snow tires promptly in the spring. Driving on them during the warmer months can greatly reduce the useful life of snow tires. Have snow tires mounted early in the fall and save yourself the aggravation of waiting in line to have them mounted at the first heavy snowfall. Inc.
