Shortly after Dominion Royal in, Kitchener ??, ceased to exist as a separate entry, I wrote to them asking about the moulds for their CMP line of tyres. They did confirm both their original moulds and the corresponding retread ones were alive and well but they did not want to remake tyres that 'no longer met current standards'. Was never quite sure what they meant by that, but assumed it had something to do with the wartime use of cotton cord internally. I had just assumed at the time they would automatically switch to modern cordage. Anyway, there is a possibility the tooling is still sitting there with the new company, or they might still know who it was all sold to.
