Tire and Tube Quota
For November
New passenger tires, 4; grade
II tires, 7; recapped passenger
th^s, 61; passenger tubes, 8; new
■Hk tires, 11; new truck tubes,
l^R-ecapped truck tires, 19.
“With regard to our new truck
tires, there appears to be no relief
in sight. Operators are caution
ed against continuing to use tires
that have reached the recap stage.
It is much better to lay up trucks
for a few days in order to recap
a tire rather than run the risk of
ruining the carcass, and thus make
themselves ineligible for new
tires.”
While the number of passenger
recaps is an increase over previous
quotas, the November quota will
only permit the Board to take
care of the estimated eligible ap
plications to prevent the running
of carcasses past the recapping
stage. Following is a list of those
eligible to make application for
tires:
^jassenger cars—(A-a) Doctors,
iBs, Vets.
