IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes Aero Cushion Tyres 6.00 x 16.

The above tyres were tested on 3-B-IV car for riding qualities and steering effects. We found that to obtain as good a ride as the Dunlop standard tyres, pressures 35 lbs. front and 30 lbs. rear, we had to reduce the pressures on the IndiaProduction 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes tyres to 27 lbs. front and 25 lbs. rear, but the car then became unsaable on the road, and had a definite inclination to tramp every time the brakes were applied.
