Tire Industry Expands to Meet War Postwar Demand
The article notes 1944 tire output at 763,000 tons with planned 672,000 tons and 1945 demand projected at 27 million tires, rising to 32 million by 1946. War-time refinements boosted capacity, while tire shortages stem from unforeseeable heavy-duty needs and wear from combat and Pacific logistics. Expansion programs cost hundreds of millions, adding eight to nine million tires, then six million more, with full effect not before 1946.
