Increased Tire Quota for June Announced
The government said civilians will receive 500000 more passenger tires in June than May. The June quota rises to 2000000 tires for B and C gasoline card motorists, up from 1500000 in May. Eastern cities may see nearly doubled allocations, with some communities up to 100 percent more due to gasoline ration increases for B drivers. A motorists’ tires remain limited to recapping and second-hand uses. This is the first June tire quota reaching 2 million since December.
