Cox - Advertising Manager} 25/KW.8.5.36. We have been carrying out experiments continuously for the past 12 months to try and get an improved tyre for the Bentley. The existing tyre, however, combines superlative road holding with good adhesion, and so far we have found nothing which possesses these two attributes to the same extent and simultaneously is more silent.
