The tires presented in the collection are noted as US Royal Air Ride Tires and US Royal Master Tires, with the test vehicles averaging 760 miles a day in the desert terrain of the Lancaster proving grounds. Tests depicted in the photographs appear to assess the tires' endurance against a number of roadway factors, including flint causing chipping, steel cones, and excessive mud, and tracks designed to test the tires' performance with skidding, zig-zagging, and driving over potholes. 8.5 x 10 inches.
