There are three queationa and anawera that will aolve the problem of whut tirea to buy: QUESTION 1?"Will the tread give me the greatest traction and protection against skidding?" ANSWER?Recent tests by a leading University show that Firestone High Speed Non-Skid Tires stop a car 1 5% quicker than any other of the leading makes. For eight consecutive years Firestone Tires have been on the winning car in the dangerous Pike's Peak Race where a skid means death. This is undisputed evidence that Firestone gives car owners greatest protection against skidding. Question they blowout-proofs ANSWER?Firestone Gum-DlpDed Tires huy, the moit amazing record* lor being blowout, proof of ony tire* ever built. In the gruelling 500-Mile Race at Indianapolis, May 3oJf every one of the 33 car* wot equipped witd Firestone Gum-Dipped Tire*. Kelly won the race and broke the record over tW 26-year-old rough brick track without tire trouble ? In fact, not one of the 33 driven had tire trouble of any kind. Ab Jenkins drove his 5#000 pound car on Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires over the hot salt beds of Utah, 3,000 miles in 23Mt hovn at an average speed of 127.2 miles pel hour, with temperatures as high as 120? without tire trouble of anv kind. These art most amazing proofs of blowout protection ever known. > J QUESTION 3?"Without sacrificing these two important safety features will they give me longer mileage^ thus mekinf them the most economical tires I can buy7" J ANSWER?Firestone High Soe ed Tires not only I give you more than 50% longer wear, but also lowest cost per mile. This is ma<j? possible by the tough, wear-resisting tread built with higher shoulders and a wider, flatter contour.This thick,rugged,scientifically designed tread is held securely to the GumDipped cord body by Firestone's patented construction of two extra layers of cords under the tread. This is a special construction feature not used in any other tire. Un$quaied mileage records by thousands of car ownen add undisputed evidence of the longer wear and greater economy of Firestone High Speed Tires, 1 University tests FirestoneTires stop cau/W^ 1 5 to 25% quicker. 2 Gum-Dipped cords give greater blowout protection.
