Save 25% on Tires Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires are 10 per cent oversize. That means an average of 25 per cent more mileage without a cent of extra cost. Goodyear tire sales trebled last year-jumped to $8,500,000. And 64 leading motor car makers have contracted for Goodyears for 1911. One reason is that these tires can't be rim-cut, no matter how far they run flat. And there is no other practical tire ever invented which cannot be wrecked in this way. Another reason is that Goodyear tires give you 10 per cent oversize with no extra cost. load, but they rarely leave any margin. Motor car prices are now figured closely. Perhaps you add a top, a wind shield, gas The picture shows a Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tire behind another tire of equal rated size. The Goodyear-while it fits the rim-gives you 10 per cent more tire for the money. That means 10 per cent more carrying capacity. It means, under average conditions, 25 per cent more mileage per tire. The Reason is This Motor car makers, in adopting a tire size, figure on expected load. That means the weight of the car as they sell it and the weight of the passengers at 150 pounds each. They use a tire size to support this lamps and gas tank, an extra tire. And passengers sometimes overweigh. With nine cars in ten the expected load is exceeded. The result is a blow-outoften while the tire is new. There is no doubt that overloading, with the average car, adds 25 per cent to the tire cost. We Save That 25 Per Cent When you specify Goodyear No-Rim Cut tires you add 10 per cent to your carrying capacity-25 per cent to your average mileage-without any extra cost. For Goodyear oversize tires cost the same as skimpy tires. This isn't philanthropy. It is simply good business. When a blow-out occurs you blame the tire maker, and we wish to avoid that blame. There are other things you gain, and all are GOOD YEAR No-Rim-Cut Tires told in our book, "How to Select an Automobile Tire." This book is saving motor car owners millions of dollars. May we send a copy to you? Goodyear No-Rim-Cut tires, until lately, cost 20 per cent more than other standard tires. Now they cost but an equal price.
