Every lot of Goodyear tires that is placed on the mar-
ket is thoroughly tested at the factory and made to
stand the road wear.
That is why you get a better adjustment on Good-
years than on any other kinb of tire when you think
your mileage is not what it should be. Goodyear mak-
ers know that their tires are constructed to stand up un-
der ordinary wear and they are always ready to make
satisfactory adjustment on a mileage basts when by
chance an inferior tire gets by the rigid tests made at
the factory.
