Gilt-edged SECURITY

GREATER Safety NOW ADDED TO Gilt-edged SECURITY

These diagrams tell the story of the new British Goodrich Safety Gilt-edged tyre—the super tyre that meets modern car performance and traffic conditions :—
(1) 15% greater tread thickness, ensuring thousands of extra safe miles and a lower cost per mile.
(2) The “footprint of safety,” bristling with anti-skid angles and of much greater area than is usual.
(3) Positive brake control, proven by dynamometer test—i.e., a safe stop on the new Safety Gilt-edged tyres at “A,” as against a delayed stop at “B” on the next best anti-skid tyres in the test.
Your own safety—your family's safety—demands an immediate change-over to British Goodrich Safety Gilt-edged. Always superlatively luxurious and trustworthy, now the Safest tyre ever built !
