SILENT TREAD TYRES FOR 19" RIMS.
X.5820

We have just heard from Messrs. dunlops that the
moulds they have completed for the silent tread tyres for 19"
rims have proved faulty and that therefore the delivery of these
tyres will be considerably delayed.

We have been continually pressing them to urge
these tyres.
