Since trying the Michelin Pilote tyre we obviously want to get tyres made in England which have similar characteristics. As you know we have been working with the Avon Co. recently on production of B.V. tyres and we wonder whether you could approach Michelin to know whether they would have any objection to our sending one of the Pilote tyres to the Development Engineer so that he can gain some technical data from them.
