Tighter Tire
Rationing
IF
In an important change in tire
rationing regulations, OPA has
announced that eligibility for new
passenger car tires now will be on
an ? occupational" basis rather
than on the basis of mileage tra
veled.
This step was taken, an OPA
statement said, to conserve inade
quate stocks of new tires and the
: apidly diminishing supply of used
passenger tires available for ra
tioning.
