I note that Dunlops will have MA.2 tyres ready to our size in about three weeks time and you advocate waiting until you can try them out.
As I note you mention that in any case they are proceeding with the moulds, it certainly does appear that this will not mean any further delay.

Further, I note you have also written for a set of the 20", and you will be able to get some idea from these without waiting for the three weeks, perhaps.
