Never before in history have such feats been accomplished, because never before have : there been tires so perfectly designed for each motoring need—with such balanced construction from beads to tread 207.5 Miles Per Hour—The Fastest —with every part of the tire engineered to function perfectly in the service for which it is built. Time Ever Made On Wheels—Made d On Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires THE ONLY TIRE THAT HAS ITS CORDS DIPPED THE MOST DURABLE AND LONGEST i e PR A i v s e THROUGH A RUBBER SOLUTION Here is a single cord from a Firestone Gum- Dipped Tire untwisted to show how it is com- posed of small cords and strands. It takes millions of cotton fibers to make up these cords for a tire, and each must be thoroughly insulated with rubber to prevent friction and heat, in the carcass—the greatest enemy to long tire mi'eage. Firestone engineers found that by dipping the cords of the tire carcass in a rubber solution, every fiber of every cord is saturated and insulated with rubber, adding MILEAGE TIRE record when e svereed 3075136 sfls por et The amazing mileage of Firestone Gum- a4 Davtans Hess 198 Dipped Tires results fromthe scientifi- cally designed tread which is engi- neered to the contour of the Balloon Tire carcase—it flexes uniformly with the carcass at every point of contact —it is compounded of the toughest, most wear- resisting tread rubber possible—this tire does with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires—and no er Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires Have Won Every National Championship Race Since 1920 Dave Lewhs won 200 mile race at Aflentic City, in 1927, at average speed of 130.58 miles hour without a stop—on Firestone Mwfl”“fl‘ the greatest flexibility and strength, and uni- i | not weave or sway One-Half and One Mile Dist fying the whole structure of the tire.
