Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 22-1-14.

Chassis 1992 - weight over 47 cwts - has been reported as being very destructive on tyres. Mr Johnson wishes to know whether we can recommend Continental over-size tyres, and if so, whether the rims need be altered. Customer has already used Dunlops, Michelins, Prowodnik's with very poor results.
