Extra Mileage You Can See
and Measure
The extra thickness of the
Michelin Tread due to
extra rubber and fabric
means additional mileage.
Especially is this true since
every ounce of rubber and
fabric is the toughest that
money, skill and experience
can produce.
Michelins give so much
mileage that they'd be
economical even if high
priced. But they're
not high priced.
