'.V'. STOP IN AND SEE IT FOR YOURSELF I Less chance of blowouts and carcass failures with this tire, for a double breaker strip cushions shocks. The tire lasts longer—wears more evenly, edge to edge, for its flatter tread design spreads the wear over a wider contact area. 7 zigzag ribs of the Gulf Tire fight skids. Their flex-wiping action breaks up water film on wet roads. The 7 ribs mean there’s a “riding bar” down the center of the tire. Right at the point of greatest pressure, the load rides on rubber, not on a groove! Can stand punishment. This tire’s stronger carcass has more and stronger cords in every inch of ply! Sidewall shields protect tire against curbstone bruises. Warranty accompanies each Gulf Tire—ishonored by Gulf Dealers everywhere!
