Miller Tires claim lower cost per mile than rivals
Miller Tires argues first grade cords and fabrics should be built to top standards. Cord tires cost more but are worth it for mileage. Eight machines test rear tires daily 650 miles each. Tests show Miller Tires, at Miller prices, average greater mileage and lowest cost per mile.
Miller Tires Claim Long-Lasting Treads Standout
Miller Tire asserts its treads outwear rivals by 25 percent with lab tested vulcanizing and no tread loss in the field. They cite 20,000 to 28,000 miles in Cord Tire reports and factory tests averaging 15,000 miles, urging buyers to insist on Miller Tires as 20 car makers supply them at no extra charge.
Uniform Tire Quality Program at Miller Tire Works
The firm explains a strict system where every tire is signed by maker and inspector, and the process is tracked. Returns for adjustment reveal causes, with penalties for workers or inspectors if faults are found. After years of checking, uniform tires achieved with no Miller Tire returns in some large cities last year.
