NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, TUESDAY, JUNE 19, 1928, Taking the Mystery - Out of Tire Construction d:re o("fielcal times when tghe life of every driver and passenger of an auto- mobile is largely dependent upon the tires ' used. This applies not only to the strength ,of the tire but to its non-skid qualities. That is why it is vital that you buy tires lgu know are properly constructed and the greatest strength and the best non-skid features that you can buy. You cannot afford to take the risk of unknown brands. No one can judge the strength, the safety, the flexing life, the cushioning qualities and the miles that are built into a tire merely from its outside appearance, ‘yet when buying a tire you are really seek- ing these qualities—the most of each that your money will buy—not the most rub- ber, or the most cotton, or the most bulk and weight. Passenger car tires that were made fifteen to twenty years ago were thick, heavy, bulky had practically no non- skid qualities, and these were the only kind of tires that engineers of that day knew how to design and build. In thls type of tire construction, it was necessary to carry very high air pressure in order to prevent the tire %rom &;xmg as flexing cre- ated heatin this bulky carcassand destroyed e tire prematurely; in fact, three to five thousand miles was the maximum mile- age to be obtained from this type of tire. As years went on, the car owner de- manded tires that would giv= greater non- skid and safety, greater flexibility and comfort and greater stren fith and longer tmlmge. Today, Firestone has reached the g:ex of tire perfection—Firestone Gum- ipped Balloons hold all world records for safety, comfort, durability and mile- fe. They have the strongest, most flexi- e walls toughest and most flexible tread, test cushioning qualities of any nres uilt in the world. They are giv- ing thirty—forty—fifty—sixty and even 6-Ply FIRESTONE For the Heavy Car Firestone has also designed a special tire with extra plies of cord fabric and heavier and tougher tread, upecnllv for heavy cars. Nl.wnllv. this tire requires additional air pressure, and while the carcass is Gum-Dipped and flexes uniformly under load, vet its degree of deflection is less because of its heavier carcass, thicker tread and necessary higher air pressure. restone TIRES seventy thousand miles of service. What has brought about this great change—more miles and greater safety with less thickness and bulk—fewer punc- tures than ever before—blowouts almost unheard of? BETTER ENGINEERING—This is the answer. It is a victory for experience —gained through infinite research, labo- ratory experiment and millions of miles of road testing. Back of every Firestone-built Tire is this assurance of getting the most your money can buy. But to remove any question that may be in your mind concerning the best tyre of tire for your special needs, we L your attention to the following brief engineering facts. 6 to 14 Plies FIRESTONE For Commercial Cars, Trucks and Buses For motor vehicles of still greater weight and carrying capacities, the carcass is made still heavier, using from six to fourteen plu ( ing on size) of cord fabric and a thick huvv tread. This tire is also Dipped by the special process which makes this tire more flexibls and durable than any other tire in its class, vet is commercul vehicles. \This is the best tire that money can buy in i class, but if you want comfort, safety and economy of operation ocn' passenger cars don't use this thick, heavy tire.
