Turner Warns Tires Remain Cheaper Than 1914 Prices
Frank Turner of Kelly-Springfield Tire Service argues that tires remain a bargain despite price rises from late 1924 to 1925. He notes crude rubber spiked to 1.23 a pound while tire prices rose 15 to 45 percent, yet compares favorably to 1914 costs and predicts improved tire mileage.
Tire Prices in 1920 Versus 1925 and Tire Value
An analysis notes that popular tire sizes in 1920 cost more than double today’s prices in July and August 1920 prior to May 4 1925 rubber price shifts. It argues tires remain a low value purchase with durable mileage, rubber supply concerns, and expected gradual price stabilization rather to bring large reductions within a year. An Ohio tourist praised Kelly-Springfield Tire Service for top service and rapid mobile support.
