Its all about tires.  In the 50's winter  tires were important in my  corner of Ky and we were more concerned  with the yellow mud than snow.  We didn't know much about snow  tires but we sure knew about "mudgrips".  During this time  there were  advertisements in magazines about a tire  that had  disc in its tread.  I guess this was to keep the tread open  and  was supposed to improve traction in rain and brakng.  One of the  ads  was a mans fist with these discs between the fingers.  What  company made  these tires? I'm taking a beating in an ongoing  argument and sure need  some  help.
