Tires 10% Oversize 



25% More Mileage No Extra Cost 



If you buy tires for an automobile, let us explain how to cut 

 the cost half as tens of thousands are doing. 



The tires which we tell of Good- 

 year No-Rim-Cut tires are now 

 the sensation of motordom. 



Last year our tire sales trebled 

 jumped to $8,500,000 because we 

 controlled these tires. 



This year 64 leading motor car 

 makers have contracted for them. 

 They outsell our clincher tires six 

 to one. 



And these are the reasons: 

 No Overloading 



About 25% of the average tire 

 cost is due to overloading. 



The tire size is adapted to the 

 car when stripped. But when you 

 add extras top, glass front, gas 

 tank, extra tire, etc. the tires 

 have too much weight. And you 

 overload them otherwise fre- 

 quently. 



The result is a blow-out. 



Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires, to 

 take care of these extras, are made 

 10% oversize. The rim flanges 

 flare outward when you use this 

 tire, so this extra size is pos- 

 sible. 



We supply this extra size at no 

 extra cost. That means 10% more 

 air, and air carries the load. It 

 means 10% greater carrying ca- 

 pacity. It means, with 

 the average car, 25% 

 additional mileage per 

 tire. 



You get the same 

 result as though you 

 paid for a 10% larger 

 tire. 



No Rim-Cutting 



Then these patented tires end 

 the damage of rim-cutting. Other 

 tires are ruined when you run them 

 flat.' Rim-cutting, on the average, 

 adds one-fourth to one's tire bills. 



Note the picture below. 



The No-Rim-Cut Tire 



This tire is fitted on a Universal 

 rim the standard rim now adopted 

 by nearly all motor car makers. 

 But the tire fits any rim. 



The removable rim flanges are 

 simply set to turn outward, instead 

 of inward as with the old-type 

 tires. 



The tire, when deflated, comes 

 against a rounded edge. You can 

 see why rim-cutting never occurs. 



Ordinary Clincher Tire 



With ordinary tires these remov- 

 able rim flanges are set to curve 



No-Rim-Cut Tires 



inward, to grasp hold of the hooks 

 in the tire. That's how the tire is 

 held on. 



Note how those thin edges dig 

 into the tire. That is what ruins a 

 tire in a moment when punc- 

 ture makes it flat. 



How We Avoid It 



In the base of our tire we vul- 

 canize 126 braided wires. That 

 makes the tire base unstretchable. 

 It can't be stretched over the rim 

 flange can't be forced off until 

 you remove the flange. 



When this tire is inflated the 

 braided wires contract. The tire 

 is then held to the rim by a pres- 

 sure of 134 pounds to the inch. 



That's why the hooks are un- 

 necessary. That's why the rim 

 flanges don't need to dig into the 

 tire. 



This feature is controlled by our 

 patents. And there is no other 

 feature ever invented which makes 

 a practical tire of this sort. 



Tire Book Free 



We have sold enough of these 

 tires to equip over 100,000 cars. 

 The demand has become over- 

 whelming. You should know the 

 reasons if you own a car. 



They are told and pictured in 

 our Tire Book in a clear, con- 

 vincing way. Let us mail 

 it to you. Write us a 

 postal for it. 



You will insist on 

 tires which cut upkeep 

 cost half when you 

 know the facts about 

 them.
