TRACTOR TIRES
Goodyear Sure-Grips, with
the OPEN CENTER tread,
have proved to farmers that
they pull heavier drawbar
loads with less slip ... do a
given job in less time, with
less fuel, than any other
tractor tire made.
The open center tread design
of the Goodyear Sure-Grip
tractor tire eliminates mud
trapping, allows each lug to
penetrate full depth for a full
firm bite to give maximum
traction in any soil.
