It was based upon accurate knowledge of crude rubber, of compounding rubber and of building und vulcanizing rubber products. The tread of a Goodrich Tire, Instead of bcinff what you usually think of as a tread" a separate part is actually the outside of the tire.

It Is of it and not merely put on it. This is one reason why the thick, tough treads of Goodrich Tires do not peel or strip. The secret of this lies in the Goodrich principle of Unit-Molding. The whole tire layers of rubber-impregnated fabric, layers of pure rubber, extra side strips of pure rubber to reinforce the tire where the strain comes and eliminate chances for rim injury, beads, and thick, tough tread has been converted into a single piece a unit. You could not slip the thinnest knife blade between the layers, for there are no layers.

You can now see how and why. Goodrich Tires are made and molded to give you long, uniform, comfortable, satisfactory wear.
