of skidding. That's why Goodrich spentyears develop a new kind of tire to
give the greatest protection ever offered againstskids. It's the new Gudrit Face to
Silver Town with the Life Savor tread. Every inch of this new life Saver
tread is especially designed to dry theroad under your car. In fact,
(10:16):
motorists, the spiral bars of Thistread act like a battery of windshield wipers.
They sweep the water right and left, force it out for the deep
brood, make a dry track forthe rubber to grist. Don't buy any
tire until you've at least seen thisnew gudrit silver Town with the life Saver
trey. Ride on it, feelit trip, feel it stop you quicker
