[VAL] Chaplain Kent - tire UV protection etc.

["Richard McFarland" <estatewagons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chaplain Kent - as you study up on tire protection - have you heard about
"blooming"?

If not - it's very interesting - and we hear very little about it in typical
day-to-day information on tires.

Just type - UV Protection Tires Blooming - into Google.

Here are a couple of sites that show up with info.

and read under "Protection".

Here is another one - it's from the Team Miata site:

and read under "Ozone".

What is of particular interest to trailer owners (who have trailers that sit
a lot) -that is pointed out here - is
that "movement" i.e. "rolling"....is an important part of using a tire!

Best Wishes.  RL McFarland
