Cox - Advertising Manager}18/KW.21.6.37. The new Dunlop tyre is, of course, similar to the Michelin. We are just trying some general tyres - Dual-10 - on the Wraith, which have a very good reputation for adhesion in America. We will let you know the results. We have, of course, tried almost every other American tyre. We do not think that the latest Dunlop is very different from any of them. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
