WHY pay more? Money
cannot buy a safer tire.
Why accept less? Firestone gives
you extra safety, extra value and ex
tra mileage at no extra cost!
And here’s how:
Because only the Firestone Champion
Tire has the amazing Gear-Grip
tread which gives 11% longer non
skid mileage than any comparable
tire Firestone has ever built.
Its thousands of sharp-edged
angles grip the rood with a
sure, firm hold and protect
against skids and side slips.
And, only the Firestone
Champion Tire is built with
the patented Safety-Lock
Gum-Dipped cord body which
provides 27% stronger bond
between tread and cord body,
and 35% greater protection
against blowouts.
Replace dangerous, worn tires
NOW. Have your nearby
Firestone Dealer put Firestone
Champion Tires on your car
today and know that you are
getting the last word in safety
and economy.
