FIRST, go by the book. Before considering op­ tions to the tires that came with the car, check the owner's manual, a dealer or the tire instruc­ tions affixed to the car. Tire replacement recom­ mendations for any vehi­ cle should take into ac­ count size limitations, car handling efficiency and other safety considera­ tions. Never select a smaller tire than those that came with the car. It might affect ground clearance, instrument accuracy and the suspension system of the car and is not design­ ed to carry the vehicle load. There are three tire types or constructions -- bias, belted bias and radial tires. All must meet gov­ ernment safety standards. SECOND, play the tire mating and mixing game correctly. It is best to try and keep the same construction and size of tire on all four wheels. Never mix different tire constructions on the same axle. If a pair of radial tires is used with bias or belted bias tires, the radials al­ ways go on the rear axle. THIRD, if your old tires wear out before you think they should, have an ex­ pert check them to find out why. It may be that better tire maintenance will .help you make your new tires last longer. Self service gas growing everywhere After a slowdown due to the oil embargo, self serv­ ice pumps are now in­ creasing. Today about 12 % of all gas is self service and estimates are for 40% by 1980. The lure for the consumer is lower prices -- as much as 5 cents a gallon on some brands. Self service also points to fewer minor repairs and other service work per­ formed at gas stations. Station attendants with mechanical know-how are moving into the inde­ pendent repair market. Meanwhile the number of service stations has shown a dramatic increase in the last two years, principally gas only stations. DONT MAKE WAVES Don't make waves on the highway or your car may hydroplane out of control. A car moving too fast in rainy weather can build up a wave of water between the tires and the pavement.
