[title] Firestone Makes Another Notable Contribution to Aviation Safety and Economy with a Senational New 250 M.P.H. Tire [main text] During World War II, Firestone air- craft tires were builts to Firestone specifi- cations. Now, Firestone sets the pace again by developing for the fast-landing jet air- craft of today and tomorrow a sensational new tire which will withstand the punish- ment of landings at speeds as high as 250 miles an hour. Firestone Tires have been on the winning cars in the last thirty consecutive Indian- apolis races, where speeds on the straight- aways reach 170 miles an hour or more. And the lessons learned in building tires for the Speedway have enabled Firestone engineers to perfect this new aircraft tire for high- speed landings. Thus, once again, Firestone makes a notable contribution to aviation safety and economy ... evidence that Firestone is still the leader in developing and building quality prod- ucts for the Armed Forces and for civilian aviation.
