Goodyear was first choice with 48%. The highest competitive brand was named by only 14% ..Goodyear led by better than three to one!_ Aniong eligible users, Goodyear synthetics have re-affirmed Goodyear leadership by their sterling performance under al conditions. Teclinical reasons for this performance are many, but ail have their roots in Goodyear's experience in building millions more tires than any other manufacturer, and in more than 20 years of developing and ùnproving synthetics. While every effort is being made to brin g new tires to a/i motorists at the earliest possible date, it is likely to be some time before everyone is eligi b/e. Conservation of your tires is stili high/y important. Keep in touch with your Goodyear dealer whose experience and regu/ar attention wiil be/p keep your present tires in service, Also, he wi// advise you prompt/y when you become eligible for as for 30 years, "'More People Ride on Goodyear Tires On Any Other Kind".
