Fauser Oil Co. announces the arrival of turnpike-proved tires tested on a Texas desert race track near San Angelo and shipped by Goodyear Wire & Rubber Co. The five-mile high speed test track was completed in May 1956, with Goodyear engineers designing the banked circle for high speed tire testing.
Walter S. Shively, Goodyear's tire development engineer, described a crash program that upgraded fire horsepower and mileage potential by 25 percent. The tests, run at speeds beyond normal highway limits, aim to develop safe tires for everyday driving and to push tire standards to meet the accelerating demands of modern automobiles.
