Gas Rationing Delay Likely Slows Tire Use During War
Discussion notes that top capping of 6,000,000 passenger car tires this year and future years will not solve the motor transport problem. Tires with 74 percent reclaimed rubber wear 6,000 miles at under 40 mph, adding about 36 billion miles annually, only 15 percent of 1940 car miles.
