Dear Mr. Worth, Thank you for your letter of the 1st April. We are going to try some of your 4-ply 6 x 16" tyres on one of our experimental cars. We are going to the extreme on purpose, as we anticipate that the smallest and most flexible tyre will give us the most trouble with steering and road holding. We do not know what treads you supply these in, but clearly the less noisy they are the better we shall like it. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
