Riding Comfort Unequaled Because of General’s low-pressure leadership in all sizes, both regulars and balloons, you really know the meaning of low-pressure comfort after you have taken your first ride on Generals. Car Economy The saving to the life of the motor and the car itself is due not only to General's low-pressure protection of body and mechanical parts, but also the minimum rolling-resistance in the tires, which makes every ounce of the motor’'s power count for the most and gets it over the hills with the least effort. It adds months and even years to the life of the motor itself. Gasoline Saving Due to the same feature of less rolling-resistance, you save gasoline when you ride on Generals. Sometimes the saving is as high as 20 per cent.
