TIRES C-3<br />
ELDORADO OPTIONS<br />
White Sid* Wall<br />
Size 9.00-15, double stripe white side wall<br />
tires are optional. These are supplied when<br />
basic group 1 through 3 or code W is ordered.<br />
Higher Mileage H. D.<br />
In addition to the above regular white side<br />
wall option, a Higher Mileage H. D. single<br />
stripe white side wall tire option is available by<br />
adding code T on the order form in the space<br />
captioned White Wall Tires.<br />
This does not interfere with ordering groups<br />
1, 2 or 3. A Basic Group may be ordered in the<br />
regular way and only code T need be added.<br />
These tires are the size J 78-15 glass fiberbelted<br />
construction with 2 ply bias polyester<br />
cord.<br />
4-PLY SPECIAL HIGH SPEED TIRES-<br />
NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NORMAL DRIVING<br />
<strong>Cadillac</strong> regular option tires are recommended<br />
for all normal driving. They combine a<br />
balance of performance, handling, traction and<br />
smooth-riding qualities.<br />
However, owners whose driving requirements<br />
include above normal speeds and loads<br />
may be interested in special nylon cord tires.<br />
designed for high speed driving.They are available<br />
at extra charge on special order and are<br />
distinguished by a single white stripe. Mark<br />
SPECIAL HIGH SPEED TIRES on New Car Order.<br />
The make is Goodyear.<br />
Before ordering, however, be sure there is an<br />
understanding of the effect upon the riding and<br />
handling qualities inherent in tires of this type.<br />
The customer should be prepared to accept a<br />
tolerance for certain nylon characteristics such<br />
as temporary flat spotting after a cold start; a<br />
reduction in smoothness and softness of a car's<br />
riding qualities and a higher noise level.<br />

ALL MAKES NOT ALWAYS AVAILABLE<br />
Tires for <strong>Cadillac</strong> cars are supplied by four manufacturers in a variety of sizes, plys and black or<br />
white side walls. This complexity creates storage problems that make a continual inventory of all<br />
makes and types difficult to maintain.<br />
Also, availability problems are encountered since all tires must meet the standards of <strong>Cadillac</strong>'s<br />
quality control program. It is realized that some customers designate a tire brand preference which<br />
dealers understandably wish to accommodate. However, as a relatively small percentage of such<br />
requests can be considered without risking a delay in car production, only in case of customer<br />
insistence should tire brands be specified on the car order.<br />
Notwithstanding these situations, <strong>Cadillac</strong> will endeavor to supply a tire brand option, provided<br />
such requests do not exceed 5% of a dealer's orders during a model year.<br />
Black side wall tires are standard equipment on all cars. The sizes and plys are listed in the chart<br />
on opposite page.<br />
Because of the extremely small demand, it is not feasible to offer a black wall tire brand option<br />
even on a limited basis.<br />
