You expect more mileage from a
Kelly- Springfield
That's why we did not put out this
cord tire until we had found.out ex
actly what mileage it would give.
Tirp
We took 500 Kelly-Springfield Cords and put them on cars
loaded to weigh 5200 pounds. We sent those cars out in mid
winter to travel day and night over rough, frozen roads. As thou
sands after thousands of miles rolled up, the drivers reported
back, anxious to quit. We repeated our orders: "Go on till your
tires give out." They said, "They won't give out. We can't wear
them out." But they did, finally. It took 11,725 miles for rear
wheels; 14,000 miles for front wheels, a general average of more
than 12,000 miles. It wore out the drivers, wore out the cars, and
nearly wore out the roads.
That's why we know tfiat Kelly-Springfield Cords are the
greatest improvement since pneumatic tires were invented.
Two treads grooved and non-skid.
