We have proved that wrapped tread
tires-the costliest construction-are
cheaper than moulded tires-for the
user.
So we employ these things. And
we use everything else which these
years of test have proved most eco
nomical-in the cost per mile.

Cut tires 10 per cent over the rated size.
That means 10 per cent more air =
10 per cent added carrying capacity.
And that, with the average car, adds
% per cent to the tire mileage.
With these oversize tires, of the
costliest construction-these tires
that can't rim-cut-we met the price
of standard old-type tires.
The result is this:

The Truth About
Cost of Tires

Tires can be made to fit any price
which users want to pay. The only
just comparison is the cost per mile.
Cheap tires may cost far more per
mile than tires at twice the price.
Tires may also be too costly-too
fine in composition to endure.
The object of the expert is the
lowest cost per mile. That has been
our object for some 13 years.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-05-15

standard old-type tires.
This tire-called No-Rim- Cut-has
ended rim-cutting forever.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-05-15
Saving % Per Cent

Then came the question of rim-cut
tires. We examined thousands of
ruined tires, of every make. And we
found that % per cent of the clinch-
err type were rim-cut.
So we brought out a patent new
type tire "a hookless tire = which
makes rim-cutting impossible.

Saving Is Per Cent

Next came the question of blow
outs-caused by adding extras to the
car-by overlooking tires.
To avoid this we made No-Rim-

How We Know

We make our comparisons on a
tire testing machine, where four
tires at time are worn out under
all sorts of road conditions. Meters
record the mileage.
There we have compared some 200
fabrics, and some forty formulas for
treads.
There we have teste d every
method and process. There we have
compared rival tires with our own.
Thus we have proved that Up

There were no bank failures in Nebraska
