End of compulsory passenger car tire inspections announced
The Office of Price Administration in Raleigh says periodic tire inspections for passenger cars end after April 20 while tire conservation remains critical. Drivers may replace tires only with valid inspection records, and truck tire inspections continue. Civilian tire production will drop from 34 million in 1941 to about 22 million this year.
