The question of noise, therefore, has not been the foremost consideration in the experimental design of these tyres, and should you consider their adoption the tread design would have to be seriously reviewed. We hope the above details will meet your immediate requires, and shall be happy to co-operate with you further on this subject if necessary. Yours faithfully, FOR THE DUNLOP RUBBER CO. LIMITED.
