Every truck operator knows that internal
friction causes heat and heat is the greatest
destroyer of tire life. The only way to
counteract friction and heat is by Gum-
Dipping, the Firestone patented process
which soaks the cords in liquid rubber,
saturating and coating each tiny cotton fiber
and strand within the cord, counteracting
friction and heat at their very source. As a
result of this patented process, Firestone Tires
run up to 28° cooler than tires built without
Gum-Dipped Cords.
This is why Firestone Tires are used by
thousands and thousands of truck operators
from coast to coast, including the largest
transportation fleets. These operators choose
tires strictly on performance... they know that
Firestone Tires give them more dependable
service at lowest cost per mile. See your nearby
Firestone Auto Supply and Service Store or
