Ban on White Sidewall Tires Aims to Save Rubber
The office of production management banned the manufacture of white sidewall automobile tires in a move to conserve rubber. S. R. Stettinius Jr., defense director of priorities, said the prohibition would save more than 6,000 tons of crude rubber annually. White sidewalls require about two pounds more rubber and use zinc in oxide form, so the ban also trims zinc usage.
