| OY3-W-11722 -2- I think you should test several sets of 32x6 tires and wheels, before you take the plunge on 4-wheel brakes. Will you consider this? We should be glad to send you a set or two if you think it desirable. Of course, the public have to be won over, but since a smaller wheel and fatter tire increases the apparent length of the car, I don't think we should get much opposition from that quarter. The wire wheel makers support the movement because they can build a stronger wheel for lateral blows. Yours truly, M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley MO:W | ||
