Firestone Patented Gum-Dipping Process
Additional Details:
By this process, eight extra pounds of rubber are added to every one hundred pounds of high-stretch cord, coating every fiber in every cord. This is an extra process for Safety, Strength and Durability-not used in any other tire. Gum-Dipped High-Stretch Cords withstand road shocks 58% longer-and the Two Extra Gum-Dipped Cord Plies under the Tread give 56% greater bond between Tread and Cord Body. R. R. Donnelley |
