Fewer Passenger Tires Promised For January
Civilians will receive 200000 fewer passenger tires in January, from 2000000 to 1800000, as OPA aligns with General Eisenhower's demand for more tires for invasion forces. Small truck and bus tires drop to 216000, heavy truck and bus tires to 110000. OPA notes a 100000 backlog of priority applications and urges full use of recapping facilities amid idle equipment and swelling tire demands.
