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

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