Extract

In the past ten years or so a number of changes have taken place in aircraft which have progressively reduced the potential tyre life and tend therefore to increase the operational cost. We now see that the latest aircraft have developed to such a stage that there is a certain hazard in stopping them on wet or slush covered runways. To ease this situation, further changes are recommended to the tyres, likely still further to reduce tyre life.
