After two years of development work. General Tire has Just perfected a motor-car tire built on an en Urol y new principle of tire construction, ac cording to John Deaver. Departing from the conventional type of rubber button or tire tread design, character istic of all present-day tires, the Dual 10 tire, with "multl-vane tread" is distinguished by many thin rubber vanes or flutes, running longitudin ally around the tire, Mr, Deaver says. "These soft, flexible vanes give rather than resist when the tire strikes an obstruction. Under breaking pressure, In emergency stops, the vanes squirm to form a serpentine pattern on the road surface and a squeegee action takes place which wipes the highway free of moisture to form a dry sur face for adjacent vanes to cling to, Tests have shown that this tire will stop a car In a fraction of the time and distance, required by any other tire and that It will stop a car, straight In Its tracks, more quickly on a wet pavement than any other tire will stop it on a dry pavement."
