General Roy Stone estimates 1.5 million miles of U S roads move 500 million tons yearly. With eight mile hauls and $2 per ton, freight costs reach $1 billion annually. improved roads could cut to $400.6 million, saving about $600 million yearly and funding road repairs. Broad tires show lower draught on macadam and gravel, less on dry dust, with results varying by surface. better roads amplify tire advantages.
