THE NEW
B. F.Goodrich
Silvertown
IS WORTH THE WAIT
The new Silvertown dm have been setting records for
long mileage, safety and economy not only on taxi
fleets, police cars and special test cars but in regular
car owner use.
These new tires are built with a broader, flatter tread
that puts more rubber in contact with the road, spread
ing the wear over a larger area. To hold this heavier
tread, B.F.Goodrich engineers developed a 35% stronger
cord body with stronger cords and more of them . . . Tbis
meant better bruise resistance, greater safety.
U you want the tire that OUTWEARS PREWAR
TIRES, place your order UhUy. A little wait will be
mhM with today's biggest money's worth in tires.
There's no getting away from it! When you hare
a good thing ? word gets around ? and FAST! And
from our view, it seems everyone is demanding the
tire that OUTWEARS PREWAR TIRES.
