Take the hidden carcass beneath the tread. Dunlop owns its own cotton mills for no other purpose than to spin the best long-fibre cotton into the famous cable· twist cord that goes into this carcass. The extra strength in these cords means an added factor of safety against constant · load and pounding of roads-longer life and greater mileage. . The extra "stretch" enables the carcass to give under severe blows, and to come back into its original position without internal injury. The Dunlop tread-the toughest rubber development known-wears slowly and smoothly, making sure that you get out of your Dunlops, all the extra mileage that added care and longer experience have built into them.
