THE UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. has beeii first In the field with some of the greatest improvements in tyre manufacture. It is proud to be first to introduce the new low pressure Flat Tread Tyre, the newest development in the tyre industry. It has taken the American public easily the greatest motoring public in the world —by storm. What are the features of this new Flat Tread low pressure tyre which have made it such an outstanding success ? H H 11 ■HUB itSsa KiiJM mm ■■ mm BwBB ■ ■ Imprint of a round Imprint of the new, flat tread Balloon Tire "Low-PressureTread" The above imprints shown are from two Balloon Tyres exactly the same size both under the same load, both inflated at the same air pressure. Yet the flat "Low-Pressure Tread" shows 22% more road contact than the other. By distributing the weight, the low pressure tread lessens the pressure on each tread block. I.—Prevent* Early and Uneven TreailVear. Careful study by the United State# Rubber Co'a. engineers demonstrated that the round tread on most high pressure tyres is impracticable for Balloon tyres. The peculiar shape a round-tread Balloon tyre takes when under load and moving, and the consequent working of these parts of the tread on which the weight is concentrated causes the tread to wear in two bands, one on each side of the centre of the tyre. This makes the tread wear unevenly and quickly. 2.—Gives 22% More Road Contact. The new flat Tread with its flat contour gives 22% greater area of road contact. Because of this better load distribution there is much less tread distortion and tread move' ment two factors which add to early tread wear in round tread Balloon Tyres. 3.—Better Non-Skid Protection because the flexible outer row of tread block# is in full contact with the road. 4.—-Easier Steering With the New Flat Treads REAL BALLOON CUSHIONING. But above all the new Flat "Low Pressure" Tread permits running the tyre on the low inflation necessary to give real Balloon Tyre cushioning—without causing early, uneven and disfiguring tread wear. This is of great importance because a few pounds increase, even four or five pounds, in air pressure in a Balloon Tyre will greatly effect its riding quality and comfort.
