CORD TIRES

The tire section above at the left shows
the condition of a Firestone 33x4% Cord
Tire after 20,994 miles on a Yellow Cab
in Chicago.
The section at the right was cut from
a new Cord of the same size. Careful
measurements show that only 1/3 of the
tread of the tire on the Yellow Cab has
been worn away after this long, gruelling
test: The carcass is intact after more
than 11,000,000 revolutions.
Firestone Cords have averaged over
10,000 miles on Chicago Yellow Caba

against destructive hinging actica of

is double “gum dipped” to make sure
that each cord is thoroughly insulated
