If you have not seen this husky yet graceful tire, a Ford car tire of HEROIC SIZE, go at once to your dealer and ask for it. Just say: Give me Goodrich's 'Three-Seven ty-Five You will find it a tire of burly size, burly in extra rubber, extra fabric and extra service. , Made in the regular Goodrich five-finger Safety Tread ONLY, it is built an inch bigger around the circumference than ordinary Ford car tires, and thicker in the cross section. It fits 30-inch rims. Its slightly higher outset cost is cancelled by the economy of longer life, and the greater satisfaction you get from a more stylish and more efficient Ford car.
