Tires used to have inner tubes and a very short life. Cars had regular
tries for spares, and they were used frequently. If you travelled any
significant distance you could count on having at least one flat tire on
the way. Everyone had to know who to change tires. They used to be worn
out in less than 20,000 miles. Now they last 50,000 or more.
