Bring your old tires and we will re-mile them with the famous tread that is Geared- to-the-Road. The Miller Ad-On-A-Tire is built ofl tough, buoyant rubber. It has several layers of fabric — breaker-strip, tread and side walls, which completely cover the tire and clinch under the rim. Our process makes the Miller Ad-On-A- Tirdi an integral part of the tire. It cannot come loose or creep. Fits all tires, regardless of make. INDEPENDENCE VULCANIZING SHOP M . J .
