General announces tests showing extra motor power due to lower internal friction in cords. Rubber separation of cotton piles reduces drag, acting like lubrication. Higher grade rubber and generous quantity in General Cord keeps cords inflated and friction down, improving efficiency versus other tires.
The article explains that reduced internal friction yields longer mileage and lower heat, enabling General Cord tires to run with less wear. It highlights five years of innovation, 6 ply balloon tires, and General's leadership in low pressure designs to improve tire life and performance while avoiding high pressure classifications.
General describes a method to reduce friction in cord fabric by passing cord piles through large steel ender rollers to apply a uniform rubber coating. The process ensures each cord is fully surrounded, prevents cord contact, and relies on special weave and high quality combed cotton in its construction.
General Cord users enjoyed low air pressure long before balloons, with experience in low-pressure construction dating back beyond other makers. Regular size General Corda featured a well-known low-pressure attribute, shaping the evolution of balloon tires and General's early success with regular cords and later 4-ply and ply balloons.
