Before You Judge Any Rood Hoxord Guarantee
You Should Know These Facts About Such Guor-
antees
In general most road hazard guarantees share GER
tain features that is they are alike in several ways
y Most road hazard guarantees are based on a
pro-ratA allowance or charge.
y They guarantee the tire only against certain
actual road hazards, the same our own
Market Tire Guarantee.
81 Most road hazard guarantees state time
limit, varying, OF course, with the quality and
other characteristics OF the tire. But this time
limit Is not necessarily a guarantee that the
tire will last that length of time.
q To our knowledge there is no guarantee that
gives the PURCHASER the option of asking
for a CASH REFUND. Road hazard guar
antees are based on a pro-rata allowance or
charge.
But that is the point where similarity ends-between
ordinary everyday, road hazard guarantees and the

tire that may be damaged by road hazards.
y Market Tire Company gives YOU the BUYER,
the option of using the TREAD WEAR BASIS
or the TIME-OWNED BASIS for applying the
pro-rata rule
81 EVERY TIRE sold by Market Tire Company
carries written road hazard guarantee for
specified period of time. This applies to brand
new tires, change-overS retreadS and used
tires.
Now, let's examine these differences and see how
they affect you when you buy tires.
Recent Newspaper Articles Tell How "Monufoe-
, turers Suggested Retail Price" or List Price"
or Other Higher Prices Have Been Employed to
the Customers Disadvantage
Recently the experience of one tire buyer was
published in story (Which you may have ready by
Washington newspaper. Here are the facts:
The buyer bought tire which carries a high list
price but is usually sold at substantial discounts to
make It's selling price comparable to other brands

hazards.
But when the customer brought in an almost new

and therefore the guarantee would permit the Gus
toner to purchase another tire for 500 off-5O9o
off the list price that is This turned out to be
almost exactly what the customer had paid for the
original tire, so the guarantee actually meant
nothing.
This all-too-frequent experience Of tire BUYERS
makes it apparent that where you buy your tires is
as important or even more important than the
brand OF tire you buy. Remember this any guar
antee is only as good as the company that stands
behind it.

Here's How Market Tire Company Eliminates
Confusion Concerning Use of "Treod" and
Time" in Guarantees
The Of the tread and the time the tire is owned
are two different things. Whereas certain tread
may wear out at $4,000 miles you may have owned
the tire only months. This, of course, applies to
person who travels extensively, or 10000 miles a
year. If the tread wear is gone at the end of
months, then the guarantee has expired, even
though it is 24-month road hazard guarantee
On the other hand, if you buy tire that is driven
only 5000 miles in two years and the tread is still
good, any subsequent damage does not fall within
the meaning of 24-month road hazard" guar
antee, unless stated to the contrary.
And let's say the tire tread might be expected to
last for $4,000 miles, and you drive 1000 miles a
month

Now, at the end of six months let's suppose that
the tire is damaged by road hazard. 1t has gone
10000 miles. Actually, HALF of the TREAD WEAR
has been used .. but ONLY ONE-FOURTH OF
THE TIME has been used up.
Which guarantee would you choose? The answer is
obvious Because Market Tire Company allows you
the option, you would choose to be CHARGED FOR
THE ACTUAL TIME USED OR ONE-FOURTH OF
S240O, which is $500. Thus, we would apply $500
credit a tire for you
Were you to be charged for TREAD WEAR, you
would be charged $1,000 and would receive only
$1,000 credit on the price of a new tire.
And the opposite case would be true, If you
had driven only 1000 miles in IL months. 1t
would be to your advantage to be given credit
