FAMOUS TEST GROUP
TRIES OUT NEW TIRE
Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory Con.
duets Skid And Wear Tests
ON Safety Tire

What he believes the most severe
and exhaustive series of grueling
skid and wear tests ever made on a
new automobile tire before it was
introduced to the buying public are
described here by Mr. Sheaffer, man
ager of the Economy Auto Supply.
Milford, representatives of The b. +.
Goodrich Company here.
Mr.. Sheaffer following his recent
announcement of the new Safety
SilvertOwn tire with the "lifesaver"
tread says:
Before the Goodrich company
would release its new tire to its
sales organization and thus to the
buying public it enlisted Pittsburgh
Testing Laboratory Of Pittsburgh,
Pa. largest Independent testing or
g9nisation in the United States, and
asked the organization to make the
most rigid skid and wear tests pos
sible. They were given an absolute
ly free hand.
More than $4,000 miles were
travelled by the Goodrich testing
feet in making these Investigations,
with a senior engineer and three iu-
niOr engineers of Pittsburgh Testing
Laboratory in charge at all times.
Special apparatus automatically re-
cOrding skidding on chart more ac-
curately than had ever been done be-
fore was devised and used in the
tests.
"In addition to the new Goodrich
tire, regular and premium-priced
tires of the five other leading tire
were put under iden-
tical tests to determine their resist
ance to skidding aud wear.
The net results, as released by
Testing Laboratory is
that the new tire gives greater re-
sistance than any other tire tested,
those listing from 40 to 20
per cent higher in price. The new
tire gave more safe mileage than any
other tire in its own price range.
averaging 19 per cent more nOn-skid
miles than the others on which the
tests were made.
Despite the severe nature of the
lest. not one of the new tires blew
1ut. or failed from any cause, while
.wO Of the other tires failed"
