Worn tire casings are usually
worth 75 per cent ot the tires’
original price. For a fraction
of the original cost any casing can be made
practically as good as new, with a Miller
Ad-On-A-Tire.
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.
