Show The Salt Lake Tribune, Sunday, March Meet the newest addition to the famous line of Firestone 721 radials. It's the Firestone 721 Metrix. A tire designed specifically, uniquely, for today's cars. You know how Detroit and Europe and Japan have redesigned the car over the past few years. Made it lighter and smaller. Improved its handling, reduced its fuel consumption. Drastic changes indeed. But the new Firestone 721 Metrix matches them stride for stride. It shares proven steel cord construction with the original 721 seven strands over two wrapped by one. But from there on out, it's a totally new design. steel-belte- d Precise Metrix Handling The 721 Metrix reacts to a driver's commands with an accuracy that$ almost un- canny. It follows inputs precisely; needs no coaxing to follow curves or track true on the straightaway. Metrix Fuel Economy rubber compound helps the 721 Metrix go particularly easy on the gas. Just as today's cars do. An fuel-efficie- easy-rollin- g, low-hysteres- is to the 721 Metrix. This tire delivers its impressive handling and traction without sacrificing long mileage. Advanced Metrix Styling When you design a tire right, it looks right, too. The aggressive European tread and broad, wraparound shoulders of the 721 Metrix aren't there for cosmetic effect. But the look of this tire is right for the most advanced cars on the road today. Metrix Fits Almost Every Car The Firestone 721 Metrix fits 98 of the cars on U.S. roads American and imported. That's especially good news for those import car drivers who've sometimes found that the newest American tires aren't always available for the latest imported cars. Depending on size, the 721 Metrix will also be available in a variety of sidewall designs: whitewall, blackwall, even with raised white outline letters. For today's cars ... and beyond The 721 Metrix does more than bring tire design up to date. Firestone has actually anticipated developments in automotive design. The future is sure to bring even more smaller cars, more cars with front-whedrive, still more engines. And those are the cars the 721 Metrix is designed for. 721 Metrix.
