For ten consecutive year®
m
oil the winning car® in that classic of automobile
racing, the Indianapolis 500 Mile endurance race,
flashed across the finish line on Firestone Tire®.
In FACT every famous
driver in these races used Firestone Tires. Every
one of them for years has refused to use any other
and the reasons behind their choice tell a story of
Firestone Leadership.
J ThE Indianapolis
Race requires the most expert driv
ing in the world. It is won or lost on
the turns. The man who can make
the turns at the highest speed is the
man who wins. The track is of rough
brick and bumpy. .4s the race pro*
greases, it becomes soaked with oil
and eery slippery.
ThESE men flirt
with death, but there is one chance
they will not take. They will not take
a chance with tires.
1HESE drivers buy
Firestone Tires. Their tires are not
given to them by Firestone, much
less are they paid to use them. And
herein is the story.
Many years agov
Firestone did pay drivers to race.
The most famous of these drivers
was Barney Oldfield and he painted
on his car: “Firestone Tires Are My
Only Life Insurance'*.
In THE conrse of
time Firestone withdrew from rac
ing and the making of racing tires.
Then the trouble began. The leading
drivers of the country said that it
was Mr. Firestone’s business whether
or not he paid them to use his tires,
but it was their business to judge the
risks they would take. They would
race on Firestone Tires, no matter
what they eost, or they would not
race at all. And so Firestone had
again to make racing tires.
The difference be
tween a Firestone racing tire and the
Firestone tire you can buy from your
dealer lies only in the tread. The heat
generated in a tire during a race is
»
terrific. It is heat that causes most
tires to fail. The ordinary road tread
will burn up on a track, and so for it
Firestone substitutes a harder, light
er tread which would be exceedingly
uncomfortable on the road but
which perfectly answers the track
requirements.
That, however, is
only a detail. The reason why Fire
stone Tires stand up in any race is to
be found in their construction. The
same construction that you get in
any Firestone Tire.
In ALL tires other
than Firestone, the cotton cords
which go to make up the carcase of
the tire are merely imbedded in rub
ber. In the complex twisting and
pulling of these cords in a tire in
action, the fibers in the cords rub
against one another. The friction
generates heat and when the heat
reaches a certain point the tire col
lapses.
IN' THE Firestone
Tire, each of the millions of fine cot
ton filters going to make up a cord
Is thoroughly insulated with rubber
in the famous, patented Gum-Dip
ping process which is exclusive with
Firestone. This reduces the friction
in the cords and therefore reduces
the heat and enables the Firestone
Tire to perform normally nnder
conditions where any other tire
would collapse.
No RACING car can
be better than its tires. Neither can
any other car. The racing drivers
trust life and victory to Firestone
Leadership. That same leadership is
available to you at all Firestone
Dealers.
