Rayon Plies Laid Radially
Rayon Power Belt

RADIAL tires
Unique tire construction makes the big difference Rayon plies laid radially from bead-to-bead (instead of criss-crossing) permit greater sidewall flexibility. Reinforcing belt of several plies of rayon keep tread flat on road at all times. Result: tread area of tires does not bend with sidewalls and the slipping, skidding characteristics of conventional tires are minimized. PREFERRED TIRE CORD IS STILL DEPENDABLE RAYON
IMPROVED TRACTION Slipping and skidding greatly reduced
MORE TIRE MILEAGE Up to twice the wear of conventional tires
BETTER CONTROL Lighter steering, surer braking
LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION Radials roll easier, run cooler
Buckeye
One thing that didn't have to be changed in developing radial tires was the fabric—tough and long-lasting TYREX® rayon tire cord. It is the dominant choice for both sidewalls and reinforcing belt in radials .. . just as it is for most of the conventional tires on new cars. Rayon, with its nonstretchability under heat and pressure, provides the durability and stability that are essential for radial tires. Today, as for years past, Buckeye works hand-in-hand with the rayon industry in their development of tire cords to meet the extremes of stopand-go driving and turnpike speeds.
