| contd :- -2- life of the Dunlops. Even then we pointed out that we had had individual Dunlop tyres last 9,800 miles under similar conditions. The Rapson people retreaded the 20 HP. tyres which had run 8,300 miles and we completed practically another 8,000 miles running with them, making a total of 16,300. As we have had no previous experience with retreaded tyres, we cannot make any comparison. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
