Just as long as the tubes in your casings are not the best you can get. A chain is no more at the mercy of its weakest link than a tire is at the mercy of the tube in it. The best beginning is to start with Goodrich casings. For Goodrich gives you the standard by which you can gauge the true value of any tire. Square its price and adjustment mileage up with Goodrich List Prices, and the Goodrich More-Mileage Adjustment 6,000 miles for Fabrics; 8,000 for Silvertown Cords and you see why the wise tire user buys Goodrich casings for the greatest outer strength. You are not 100 per cent, secure till you're Goodrich through and through. Put Goodrich Tubes in Goodrich Casings Red Tubes for utmost strength or Grey Tubes for long-lived dependability at less cost. Yes, put Goodrich Tubes in Goodrich Casings, and forget tire worries.
