YOU who know know tire values from experience; but

And only a trillc more in proportion for the larger sizes.

iibly keei you from enjoying rtnmtfJg an automobile
more tliiitt any one tliint'.
You don't have to put up with. tire troubles. It is all a
question of the design of a ear.
Franklin design makes the question of tire equipment just
as vital as any other part of the ear. The tires on the Frank-
lin are. the largest used by any ear in proportion to its
weight. Heeau.se the Franklin is light weight and flexible the
tin s do not have to take the punishment that most tires have
to take.
Fji'jlit to ten thousand . miles per set is obtained from
Franklin tires by owners.
This represents efficiency in tire usage - getting the most
for the money.
