Good Tires Give Good Service
You mustn't expect good service from cheap tires
you'll be disappointed If you do. Buy a GOOD tire and
be sure of GOOD SERVICE. There isn't much difference
in price between good and poor tires but there IS a dif-
ference in the service. Try a HAWKEYE next time-
there aren't any better.
