Investigation made into causes of tire failures to find general relationships between effect and cause in matter of tire defects; examples of examination of individual failures, and of experimental work directed to improvement of wheel and tire; statistics show that fatigue is major cause of tire failure; factors influencing development of fatigue failure.
