I have noted with interest from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG19.7.27. that you are running a set of wheels with 19" rims. As Dunlop's list does not shew that they make a 6" Balloon Tyre for rims of this size, I should be interested to know what tyres you are using. Possibly Dunlop's are experimenting with 6" tyres for rims of this size, as we understand the American Manufacturers have had them in production for some time. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
