C> " i5' e, M r0- C> LO " .., c ~ Vl :;: W Z W ...J U > U When you're developing a new tire for desert riding you want to prove it can take anything the desert can dish out. Rocks. Stumps. Sand. Water. . Heat. Cold. So you take it racing - in the ultimate tests for a desert tire - the grueling Baja 1000 and Mint 400. . Our new Eagle DIS more than proved its right to be an Eagle. A Husqvarna 450 Desert Master riding on the Eagle DIS tire took the Baja piloted by Rolf Tibblin and Gunnar Nilsson. And the team of Tibblin and Mitch Mayes took the checkered flag in the Mint - on a Husky 450 shod with the Eagle DIS tire. The Eagle DIS is built with 6 plies of Triple-Tempered nylon. That's tough enough to carry you back to base even if you lose your air! Its tread rubber is specially compounded for exceptional tear resistance to keep a biting edge on the lugs. And those lugs are a full 6110" deep - specially contoured to dig deep and bite in soft dirt. sand or mud. They wrap right around the tire's shoulder. And they're spaced for rapid cleanout. The new Eagle DIS. It tamed the Baja and the Mint. It's the knobby that's designed to run over any desert you can ride. See it at your Goodyear Motorcycle Tire Dealer in the 4.00-18 EAGLE and 4.50-18 sizes. ~ Eag le 0 /5 - TM The Gccdyecr T ire & Rubbe r Company. Akron. O hio.
