Re Low Pressure Tyres on 20 h.p. ---- As we have two or three customers who are asking for low pressure tyres, and as we understand that you agree at Derby that there is no objection to fitting to the 20 h.p. chassis the semi-low pressure tyres with the well-base wheels with the stiff sides, would you please send through a standardisation sheet so as to get this matter settled. I understand the proposal is that the tyres we should fit would be the new Dunlop tyres but with the old traction tread. Perhaps you will let me know if you have any objection to these, as in the meantime I want to write to two or three customers who are asking for low pressure tyres, saying that although we cannot agree to balloons we have no objection to the semi-low pressure tyres.
