No-Rim-Cut Tires
(10 Per Cent Oversize)
Upkeep Reduced
$20 Per Tire
Statistics show that 23 per cent of all ruined clincher
tires are rim-cut.'
Experience proves that 10 per cent oversize, under aver
age conditions, adds 25 per cent to the tire mileage.
Goodyear No-Riin-Cut tires end rim-cutting entirely.
They average more than 10 per cent oversize, measured by
air capacity. . . .
This double saving, after years of experience, is estimated
by us at $20 per tire.
That means average saving. It is affected, of course, by
misuse and abuse. It varies with different size.
Whether more or less, it means millions of dollars to
motorists each year.
900,000 Tested Out
II
Over00.000of time tires have
been sold. Tltfir enormoul Advantage
11 settled Dow beyond any possible
qurition.
In two years the demand has
multiplied sii tinirs over. Last,
year's sales ucerdrd the previous
12 years put together.
For this year, 127 leading motor
car makers have contracted for
Goodyear tires.
When a tire thus outsells every
tire in existence it must be the tire
for you.
Same Price
Tie curious fact is that No-Rim-Cut
tires now cost the ssme as
olhrr standard tires. They used to
cost one-tilth more. '
The enormous demand has cut the
coat of production.
Now these tirea which can't rim
eiit rust the asms ss tires that do.
These ovenue tires cost the same
as smaller tires.
Tht saving is clear.
Our Patent Tire
We control by patoits the only
way to make a practical tire of this
type.
That's wtiy the demand for tires
which can't rim-cut centers on Good
yesr tires.
Then back of these tirea art 13 '
years sprnt in tire making.
Every formula and fabric method -and
process has been tested out by a
us on tire testing machines. ' ' 4
After 13 years of this constant
comparison wa have brought these 1
tires close to -perfection. In allj
probability, tires can never be snade t
any better. t
Add to such tirea the Ns-Xim-;
Cut feature add the orersise fea ;
turs then think what tirea you get..
' And you get then, rsmarober, at '
the price of the ordinary when yoM '
insist on Goodyear lSs-Rim-Glt
tires. '
How can any man question which
tirea he should buy?
