Dear Rothes, Thank you for your letter of the 21st inst. By all means come down with Mr. Worth when we discuss the new tyre. It appears to me, however, that the first thing to do is to try the tyre on a wider rim and if it gives satisfaction we can go further into the question of noise. Yours sincerely, | ||
