this tire is guaranteed to do everything we save for it all right what does the premium quality tire have that no other tire has here is a section of the tire let's take a good close look at its exclusive safety features the tread of the firestone premium quality tire has a wider deeper design that sets it apart from all other tires this unique wider deeper tread puts more rubber on the road to bring you extra non-skid safety and added traction on wet or slippery pavement first here's the safety fortified all nylon cord body the strongest safest cord body ever used in passenger car tires it gives you the greatest impact protection ever built into a tire you never need to worry about hitting chuck holes curbs and other dangerous road hazards but that's only part of our story in addition to this protection against impact you get protection against punctures inside every firestone premium quality tire is the silver safety seal it's made of firestone's new wonder rubber dying dying not only provides cool running safety at highway speeds but thanks to this firestone exclusive you can now ride secure on puncture safe tires let's see how it protects against punctures if a nail should puncture this tire the silver safety seal smothers it with an air tight grip there's no loss of air and chances are you won't even know about it then when you bring your car in for a safety check the nail can be removed and the tire easily repaired the firestone premium quality tire ends your fear of blowouts too and remember even new tires can blow out when slashed or cut by sharp objects on the highway did you ever see what happens when a blowout occurs to an ordinary tire we're going to deliberately blow out this front tire first we'll speed the car up to 65 miles an hour a recognized speed limit on most turnpikes now watch what happens [Applause] what chance would anyone have in such a horrible accident and it could happen to you but it doesn't have to happen it's sheer recklessness to risk the possibility of a blowout let me show you the firestone premium quality tire has a two-ply inner safety tire with a built-in safety valve that completely ends fear of blowouts here's how it works suppose you do have a blowout the emergency tire goes into action immediately and gives you complete control of the car that's the way it actually happens now let's take a closer look at that all-important safety valve when the blowout occurs the safety valve automatically closes two-thirds of the air supply in the tire is actually retained within the two-ply inner safety tire remember even new tires can blow out if cut or slashed supposing you're driving along the turnpike at high speed suddenly your tire blows out [Music] the firestone premium quality tire cannot collapse it drops only an inch and a half supported by the inner safety tire you can come to a safe stop with a car under complete control that's how the firestone premium quality tire protects you from blowout accidents but this finest of tires also brings added traction on wet or slippery pavement and i don't have to tell you the danger of a skid [Music] [Applause] here's another advantage of the premium quality tire it's made of firestone rubber x-101 that gives you a hush-hush ride without tire wine or squeal even on the sharpest turn it cushions the road for the softest
