tire cannot blow out, e.xplode or flatten and will wear twice as 

 long as an ordinary tire. The prices will be practically the same 

 as the standard up-to-date tires of the present day. The shoe 

 is specially constructed and the studs are made to give the longest 

 possible wear. It is a cushion shoe and the metal studs are of 

 an entirely new pattern from those now used." It is claimed 

 that this tire will do away with such accessories as inner tubes, 

 valves, air pumps, tire sleeves, and so on.
