Cut Your Tire Bills 

 in Two 



These two Goodyear features jumped our tire sales last year 

 to $8,500,000. They trebled our sales in one year. This year 

 they will save millions of dollars to owners of motor cars. 



Tires 10% Oversize 



Goodyear tires are made 10% 

 larger than the rated size. That 

 means 10% more tire at no extra 

 cost. It means 10% more carry- 

 ing capacity. That extra size, 

 with the average car, adds 25% to 

 the tire mileage. 



The reason is this : 



Motor car makers, in these days 

 of close prices, can hardly afford 

 to give generous tires. The tire 

 size is sufficient for the car as they 

 sell it, but not for the extras you 

 add. A top, glass front, gas tank, 

 gas lamps, an extra tire, etc., add a 

 great deal to the weight of a car. 

 So does an extra passenger. So do 

 extra heavy people. 



Nine times in ten the expected 

 weight is exceeded. A few hun- 

 dred pounds of extra weight cuts 

 down the tire mileage half. That 

 is what causes blow-outs when tires 

 are nearly new. 



So we add 10% to the size of 

 the tire without any extra cost. 

 That takes care of much added 

 weight. That extra size will save 

 the average motorist at least 25% 

 of his tire cost. 



Rim-Cutting Impossible 



Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires get 

 rid of this trouble entirely. 



To run an ordinary tire flat-- 

 even a few hundred feet may 

 wreck it beyond repair. 

 ' But No-Rim-Cut tires have 

 been run deflated, in a 

 hundred tests, as far as 20 

 miles. Among the half mil- 

 lion No-Rim-Cut tires we 

 have sold there has never 

 been one instance of rim- 

 cutting. 



Note how to avoid it. 



The 63 Braided Wires 



Here is a Goodyear No-Rim-Cut 

 tire fitted in a standard rim. This 

 is the rim now used almost univer- 

 sally for quick-detachable tires. 

 But Goodyear tires fit other rims 

 just as well. 



Note that the rim flanges 

 which are removable are placed 

 to hook outward with No-Rim-Cut 

 tires. The tire comes against the 

 rounded edge, making rim-cutting 

 impossible under any conditions. 



Here is an ordinary tire a 

 clincher tire fitted in a similar 

 rim. The rim flanges here must 

 be placed to hook inward to 

 grasp hold of the hoofwn the tire 

 base. That is what holds the tire 

 on. 



When the tire is deflated, as in 

 the picture, it comes against the 

 sharp edge of the flange. That 



No Rim-Cut Tires 



is what causes rim-cutting. A 

 punctured tire is often wrecked in 

 a moment. 



Hookless Tires 



Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires 

 have no hooks on the base. They 

 don't need to be hooked to the 

 rim. The reason lies in 126 braid- 

 ed wires vulcanized into the tire 

 base. That makes the base un- 

 stretchable. Nothing can force the 

 tire off the rim until you remove 

 the flange. It is so secure that tire 

 bolts are not needed. 



When the tire is inflated these 

 braided wires contract. The tire is 

 then held to the rim by a pressure 

 of 134 pounds to ths inch. That is 

 why hooks are unnecessary. That 

 is why you can turn the rim flange 

 so it can't cut the tire. 



We control these braided wires, 

 and there is no other practical way 

 to accomplish the purpose. There 

 is no other way to make a hookless 

 tire safe. 



Last year Goodyear No-Rim- 

 Cut tires cost 20% more than 

 other standsrd tires. Yet our 

 tire sales trebled. This year, 

 because of multiplied produc- 

 tion, they cost no extra price. 



You can get these oversize 

 tires, these No-Rim-Cut tires, 

 by simply insisting on them. 

 And that means a saving of 

 half on one's tire bills un- 

 der the usual conditions.
