Anyone else remember this? https://media.gettyimages.com/illustrations/vintage-illustration-of-a-sleepy-young-boy-in-pajamas-holding-a-tire-illustration-id583877468

I never even heard of Fisk. was it a good tire? it seems to have been around a long time.

Fisk might have been a regional tire brand, but I definitely remember it from my childhood. Here is another one–which was probably a regional brand, rather than a national brand. A shop in my town used to display one of these signs when I was a kid. [image]

… and those of “a certain age” should recall Armstrong Tires, which–supposedly–“gripped the road” better than all other tires. In their TV ads, the announcer would declare that “Armstrong tires GRRRRRR-I-P the road”. [image]

do you get a free razor with every tire? LOL

[image] weekend-warrior: do you get a free razor with every tire? When my brother and I drove past that Gillette Tire sign, it was inevitable that one of us would say… Those are really sharp tires!

I remember the Fisk ad and immediately thought of the Armstrong ad too. Can’t remember the Gillette one. I don’t remember going to Gillette Castle either. I think his first name was really King. I don’t know if he was involved in the tire business.

Here is another ad from a tire company that is (I think… ) defunct. [image]

Another one that comes to mind is Remington Tires, which claimed to be “The choice of discriminating buyers”. I don’t recall if you got a typewriter or an electric shaver as a bonus with your tire purchase. :wink:

the ability to stop cuts down on accidents. go figure. so glad they told us. LOL
