| X5810 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M1.9.31. SMALLER WHEELS. Will you tell us what is your view now on the subject of smaller wheels? We refer especially at the moment to the 25HP. It has been suggested that we should have 18" rims, instead of 19" which are standard. We remember that you have previously reported that smaller wheels on the Phantom made the steering worse.
