$90,000 Daily 



Now Spent for No-Rim-Cut Tires 



Over 600,000 already sold enough to equip 150,000 cars. 

 All because they cut tire bills in two. 



The sale of Goodyear Tires 

 has multiplied six times over in 

 the past two years. Last year 

 they jumped to $8,500,000. 

 They are now running double 

 last year. 



Sixty-four leading motor car 

 makers have contracted with 

 us for these tires. To supply 

 them and tire dealers we are 

 running our factories twenty- 

 four hours per day. 



The reason lies in a patented 

 tire the No-Rim-Cut tire 

 10 per cent oversize. Men 

 have found that this tire saves 

 one-half on their tire bills. 

 And the tire has become the 

 sensation of motordom. 



The No-Rim-Cut Tire 



Here is the Goodyear No- 

 Rim-Cut tire as it fits any 

 standard rim . When you adopt 

 this tire you simply reverse the 

 removable rim flanges so they 

 curve outward. They 

 curve inward with old- 

 style tires. This change 

 can be made in ten 

 seconds. 



The rounded edge of 

 the flange then comes 

 next to the tire, and 



rim-cutting is made impossible. 



No Hooks on This Tire 



The ordinary tire- -the 

 clincher tire has hooks on 

 the base to hook into the rim 

 flange. That is how the tire is 

 held on. See the next picture. 



When you use this type the 

 removable rim flanges are set 

 to curve inward. Note how 

 they dig in when the tire is 

 deflated. That is why the 

 common tire will rim-cut if 

 you run it flat. 



Ordinary Clincher Tire 



The No-Rim-Cut tire has no 

 hooks on the base. It is held 

 to the rim by flat tape, made of 

 126 braided wires, vulcanized 

 into the tire base. These make 

 the tire base unstretchable. 



The tire can't come off be- 

 cause the base can't stretch. 

 Nothing can force it over the 

 rim. But, when you unlock 

 and remove the rim flange, the 

 tire comes off like^my quick- 

 detachable tire except that it 

 won't stick. 



The Ordinary Clincher Tire 



This braided wire feature is 

 controlled by our pa tents. And 

 there is no other way known 

 to make a safe tire which will 

 stay on without hooks. 



10% Oversize 



These No -Rim -Cut tires, 

 where the rim flanges flare out- 

 ward can be made 10 per cent 

 over the rated size and still fit 

 the rim. And we give you that 

 oversize without extra cost. 



That means 10 per cent more 

 air- 10 per cent greater carry- 

 ing capacity. And that, with 

 the average car, means 25 per 

 cent more mileage per tire. 



These two features to- 

 gether No - Rim - Cut and 

 oversize will double the ser- 

 vice one gets from a tire under 

 average conditions. Yet Good- 

 year No-Rim-Cut tires cost no 

 more than other stand- 

 ard tires.
