These unique, new-design tires are fully inflated at only 24 pounds air pressure yet they carry 26% more air volume than ordi- nary tires. They cushion the car against crosswise shocks -- the softer tires taking the jars when they hit stones or rough pavement -- something no other tires have previously done. Combined with the famous DeSoto "Safety-Rim"' wheels, these tires set a new standard of safety. They run cooler which lessens the chance of a blowout. Should a blowout occur, the deflated tire stays on the "Safety-Rim" wheel -- even at high speeds -- allowing safe, straight stops. COMFORT -- Lower air pressure and 26% greater air volume greatly reduce road vibration -- give you the smoothest ride in De Soto history. SAFETY -- New DeSoto "Safety-Rim" wheels are one inch wider to fit these bigger volume tires. They combine to set a new standard of motoring safety. LONG LIFE -- Millions of test miles have proved the extra mileage built into these new tires. They have more road contact which gives better traction, reduces tire-wearing wheelspin, NEW TIRES Chrysler Corporation engineers have done wonders to cushion cars against up and down shocks (left). Lateral, or crosswise, shock had never been satisfactorily absorb- ed until Super-Cushions were produced. These bigger, more cushioned tires soak up lateral shock (right) giving a smoother, steadier ride, V7(97 BUILT IN.
