Tire Difficulties Overcome
for Ford Owners
A New Development in C-T-C Clincher Cords
M'
'UCH of your tire troubles are now over,
Mr. Ford-Car-Owner, for the new C-T-C
Clincher Cord Tire and special C-T-C
Tube elimiriate the rim-cutting and tube pinch
ing you have experienced with other tires.
The New Tube That Won't Tinch
Our engineers have perfected a new C-T-C Inner Tube
for 32-inch C-T-C Clincher Cords which not only pre-
vents pinching but does away with the use of flaps.
It is 3 inches in size and heavily reinforced next to
the bead.
The New Tire That Won't Rim-Cut
Into the 32-inch C-T-C Clincher Cord have been built extra
heavy sitlewalls and larger, stronger beads giving sturdier
carcass and stauncher frame.
And a Tread That Won't Skid
The perfect compounding of rubber and the wear-resisting,
road-gripping tread combine to make C-T-C's the safest driving
tires ever produced. Powerful traction blocks are tiicre, too,
to give purchase in mud and sand.
Try the combination of C-T-C Clincher Cord and Special
C-T-C Inner Tube, Mr. Ford-Car-Owner. Put it to any test
against any clincher cord you ever used. You will learn what
tire economy and tire satisfaction really are.
. Remember we also make the famous C-T-C 30x3Yi
L. straightside cord for demountable rims. '
