Dear Sirs,

Reverting to our letter of the 4th October on the subject of power consumption of tyres, we have now completed our tests on the remaining two sizes, namely 6.50-16 and 5.50-18, and details are embodied on the enclosed table.

We hope that this will provide the information you require.

Yours faithfully,
For DUNLOP RUBBER CO., LTD.
