The article extols General Cord tires for reduced internal friction, claiming longer tire mileage and motor efficiency. It explains how low pressure, supported by sturdy construction, minimizes wear, with General leading in low‑pressure and regular tire lines and rejecting the label high‑pressure for its Regula sizes.

The method uses large steel calender rollers to apply a heavy rubber coating between cords, ensuring full surround and eliminating cord towers. It highlights weave quality, combed cotton, and new tire construction principles as key factors.
