 Cut Tire Bills in Two 



We have made enough No-Rim-Cut tires for these tires this year. They now outsell 



to supply over 100,000 motor car owners 

 10% oversize. 



The control of this tire jumped our tire 

 sales last year to $8,500,000. And 64 

 leading motor car makers have contracted 



our clincher tires almost six to one. 



If you are a tire user you should know 

 these tires. They cut tire bills in two. Ask 

 us to mail our Tire Book. 



Goodyear No-Rim-Cut Tire 



The No- Rim-Cut tire lika the clinche 

 tire fits any standard rim for quick- 

 detachable tires. Also demountable rims. 



In changing from clinchers, you simply 

 slip each removable rim flange to the 

 other side. Then the tire comes against 

 a rounded edge, as shown in the picture 

 above. 



We have run these tires flat in a 

 hundred tests as far as 20 miles with- 

 out a single instance of rim cutting. 



Ordinary Clincher Tire 



With the ordinary tira the clincher 



tire these removable rim 



flanges must be set to curve in- 

 ward to grasp hold of the 

 hooked tire base. That is how 

 the tire is held on. 



The picture shows how the 

 thin edge of the flange than 

 digs into the tire. That is the 

 cause of rim cutting. That 



is what ruins a tire beyond repair if you 

 run it not fully inflated. 



More damage is done by rim cutting 

 than by any other single cause. To 

 avoid it means an average saving of 25 

 per cent on tires. We do avoid it ut- 

 terly in Goodyear No- Rim-Cut tires. 



The Secret 



The reason lies in 126 braided piano 

 wires which we vulcanize into our tire 

 base. That makes the tire base un- 

 stretchable. Nothing can force it off of 

 the rim until you unlock and remove the 

 rim flange. 



When the tire is inflated these braided 

 wires contract. The tire is then held to 

 the rim by a pressure of 134 pounds to 

 the inch. 



That's why No-Rim-Cut Tires are not 

 hooked to the rim. That's why the rim 

 flanges can be turned outward. Not 

 even tire bolts are needed. 



We control this feature by patent. All 

 other methods for making an unstretch- 

 able tire base have been found deficient. 

 Single wires or twisted wires won't d . 



The braided wires which contract under 

 air pressure. are essential to a safe hook- 

 less tirs. 



Tires 10% Oversize 



When the rim flanges curve outward, 

 the extra flare lets us make these tires 10 

 per cent oversize. And we do it without 

 any extra charge. 



This adds 10 per cent to the carrying 

 capacity 10 per cent to the air cushion. 

 It takes care of the extras the top, glass 

 front, gas tank, extra tire, etc. It avoids 

 the overloading which is almost univer- 

 sal without the oversize tire. 



This 10 per cent oversize, with the 

 average car adds 25 per cent to the tire 

 mileage. These two features together 

 No-Rim-Cut and oversize are saving 

 thousands of motorists about half on 

 their tire bills. Nothing else invented 

 in late years save so much on upkeep. 



Yet these patented tires which used 

 to cost one-fifth extra now cost the 

 same as other standard tires. 



GOOD, 



No-Rim-Cut Tires 



Our Tire Book explains 

 things fully. It tells all we 

 have learned about making 

 tires in 12 years spent in tire 

 making. It tells how you 

 can reduce your tire bills to 

 a trifling sum. 



It is time that every motor- 

 ist knew these facts. Please 

 write us to mail the book.
