Dear Sir, Canadian Dunlop Tyres. We have tested the two tyres which you sent to us. We think they are quite good for noise. We should not like [REDACTED] to say that we have detected any difference in the non-skidding properties between this tread and our latest improved silent tread. As the tyres, however, have been submitted to us mainly on the question of appearance this point is not of special importance. We have submitted our results to our London office and the tyres will be sent to them this week. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
