| To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X9050 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG9.12.27. TYRE NOISES. X2679 We have now made a short test with the British Goodrich tyres. These appear to be a very definite improvement over the Dunlop tyres wi th regard to silence. You will remember that these tyres are standard on the Bentley cars. We recommend that Sales obtain some of these tyres and satisfy themselves that they reduce the troubles complained of. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
