I have now received the set of tyres referred to and we will take the earliest possible opportunity of using them and letting you know our experiences with them. It is certainly advisable for us to be able to use the standard Dunlop tyre as soon as possible. We are already getting into difficulties owing to our use of a special tread pattern. CWB. CWB | ||
