If on the other hand the Company considers that steering wobbles are part of the penalty incurred by a customer who fits these tires then the customer should pay. We should be glad to have Mr. Johnson's ruling on this point as the same thing arises in the case of Mr. William Whiteley's with 7" Palmers. Will you kindly instruct us.
