| To CWB. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X2679 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}5/LG9.12.27. X4050 [crossed out] X2679 TYRE NOISES. We have now made a short test with the British Goodrich tyres. These appear to be a very definite improvement over the Dunlop tyres with regard to silence. You will remember that these tyres are standard on the Bentley cars. We recommend that Sales obtain some of these tyres and satisfy themselves that they reduce the troubles complained of. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
