I am quite in agreement with Hsl/LG111022, and as a matter of fact the Dunlop Co, are also, generally speaking, in definite agreement with the position adopted. I attach herewith a letter which I received after writing the Service people of the Dunlop Co, and putting my views before them, from which you will gather that they do not wish to make any stand for fitting the tyres to run with the traction tread in one direction or the other.
