| Description: | Trailer: TIRE ECONOMY Rhyming warning to check tyre pressure. Moral of the tale 'Tire conservation'. An appeal in verse for rubber conservation through proper tire care, cut over shots of a truck driver filling up with gas, water (smoking all the while), and not checking his tires. Speeding along a road with an unbalanced load, barrels drop off; he slams on his brakes and hits the curb, causing a puncture. Taking the tire back to the gas station, the owner glares at him, and we see a sign "Take Care of Those Tyres." | |
