Description
Full color 7 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ ad for their Super Sports Wide Oval tires. The largest picture in the ad is a close-up of one of these tires mounted on a Mag wheel and placed on a red car with the headline calling it “The tire shape of the future – a new concept of tire safety”. One of the smaller pictures in the ad indicates that the car this tire is mounted on is a Camaro while another picture shows that this tire is “Nearly two inches wider than your present tire”. The text also claims that it is “Built wide like a race tire” simply “To grip better. Corner easier. Run cooler. Stop quicker.” It also claims to take less horsepower to move these tires than it does an ordinary tire and taunts that “The new 1967 high-performance cars are on Firestone Wide Oval Tires“.
