| contd :- -2- Naturally the front brakes cannot make a car any better other than from the stand-point upon the construction by the presence of the additional parts. There will be some advantage of larger tyres at lower pressure, because with these the spring flexibility is of less importance. Can we not have tyres which have a slight increase in section? so as to run with slightly less pressure. When a car rides harshly it may often be due to the shock dampers being too tight. tyres Therefore, xxxxx first, then shock dampers, spring lubrication, and springs. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
