| *For competition work or other circumstances when it may be required to drive
continuously near maximum speed, we strongly recommend the use of 5.90 x l3 Road
Speed tyres with minimum pressures of 28 lbs. per sq. in. (Front) and 30 lbs.
per sq. in. (Rear) (1.97 and 2.11 kg./cm. ). For prolonged touring at high
speeds in all other circumstances, the pressures in the front and rear tyres
should be increased by 6 lbs. per sq. in. (.42 kg/cm²). |
