This tire has fovr coils of heavy steel piano wire Incorporated right into the tread Itself, so that while the resil iency of the tire itself 1s not interfered with, the metal comes into contact with the pavemtnt, thereby insuring against the dangerous 'rkid' or sideslip and at the same time affording; the car protec tion."
