Designed FOR Depen .:, bilty Firestone engineers found that the life of a tire depends as muchupon the flexing life of the cords. of the carcass, as upon the toughness of the tread. To provide extra strength, stamina, and long wear, Fire- stone dips the cords of the carcass in a rubber solution. This saturates and insulates every strand of every cord, minimizing internal friction and gives thousands of extra miles.
