He always used Firestone and never experienced tire trouble of any kind. Louis Meyer knows tire construction. He also knows that to drive for 500 consecutive miles over this hot brick track, negotiating the dangerous curves g 800 times at the average speed of 109 miles an hour, requires tires of super strength and greatest blowout protection, as a blowout on any one of the dangerous curves would likely mean instant death. By the Firestone patented process every cord in the tires on Louis Meyers car was soaked and coated with liquid rubber, thereby preventing internal friction and heat. This is the secret of the extra strength and reserve safety built into Firestone Tires. You of course will not drive 109 miles per hour, but at todays higher speeds you do need tires that will give you greatest blowout no protection and will stop your car up to 25 quicker. Take chances!
