still here i Less Loss than two years ago America laced faced as fright fright- frightening frightening ening wing a n situation as any country at war ever faced Unless Urness something was done and done quickly we would soon be without rubber And without rubber no plane could fly no tank could move no ship could sail no truck could roll people could not get to work materials could not move to and from plants That was the situation the Government and the rubber companies had to lick inside of two years yeara if America was to stay in the war ed 4 Lets Let's see what you think Right now there is nearly enough rubber to meet our essential needs Today this threat to American victory Is merely an unpleasant memory because Government the Rubber Director and a group of industries rubber petroleum chemical alcohol work alcohol work working ing together compressed into less than two years a job that would normally have taken a dozen years But Because the public saw huge synthetic rubber plants shoot up almost over night and heard that synthetic rubber was in scale large-scale production they figured fi red the tire headache was almost over a v This is the situation today today the the rubber supply crisis is past but the long predicted and anticipated tire shortage is with us Why is this so when thousands of tons of Gov Gov- Government Government Government synthetic rubber are now being made Why is this so when the rubber industry is pro pro- producing producing producing a tremendous tonnage of rubber products and more airplane and truck tires than ever before Because as the Baruch Committee foresaw foresaw- the fact that few tires could be made until we had our synthetic rubber supply well on the way resulted in millions of tires going out of service without replacement replacement and and those remaining re re- remaining malnin have less mileage in them Inventories of prewar tires are arc gone Because our military needs are way beyond any any- anyone's anyone's anyone's ones one's anticipations Because the rubber companies must use a lot of their manpower and machines to make bullet- bullet sealing gas tanks and hundreds of other rubber products for war in addition to tires Because half of today's requirements are for heavy-duty heavy size large-size truck bus combat artil artil- artillery artillery artillery lery and airplane tires requiring many many times the labor and materials of peacetime needs and finally Because the manpower shortage hangs over the tire industry as it does over all industry and there are just too few hands for the job sw Afa These problems will be licked when our enemies nrc nn licked Meanwhile we wo want to tell you frankly that unless you and all tire-owners tire continue to make the preservation of tires a n vital personal problem our home-front home transportation will break down and slow up the war production of America The way out is for you to conserve the tires youve you've got stretch got stretch their life l e in every way you can Wt 7 Do no unnecessary driving Live lave up to the government regulation dont don't don't dont exceed 85 35 miles an hour Keep your tires inflated up to recommended pressure and check them every week Avoid hitting holes in the road or bruising your tires on curbs or stones Dont Don't start or stop suddenly Slow down for sharp corners See that your wheels and axles are in line Switch your tires from wheel to wheel every five thousand miles and have them inspected regularly for removal of foreign objects and repair of cuts cuts' And most And most important of all recap all recap your tires tire as soon as they become smooth r i Though not all civilians will be able to get syn syn- synthetic synthetic synthetic rubber tires in the near future you may be one of those who will Therefore you should know and remember these facts FACTS ABOUT PASSENGER OAR GAR TIRES The synthetic rubber tire is not yet an improve improve- improvement improvement improvement ment but it will keep your car rolling through the emergency In many respects the new synthetic rubber tires are an unknown quantity now How they would behave at the phenomenally high speeds of prewar days is purely academic The patriotic citizen knows that high speeds wear out his treads far faster than the recommended speed of 35 85 miles per hour and drives accordingly Under-inflation Under driving over rough roads and other abuses are bad for all aU tires tires but but today's evidence evi evi- evidence evidence dence is that synthetic tires will stand less of these abuses than the tires you have been used to But since these tires will wUI be bo rationed to you In trust for the nation It will be your duty to take every possible care of them and to prevent mis mis- misuse misuse misuse use and abuse As we gain more experience with synthetic rub rub- rubber rubber rubber ber tires more and more things will become known about them and the public will be kept informed If you use synthetic rubber tubes lubes be sure they are properly installed They should sho ld be put into the tire then inflated deflated and inflated again And they should never be mounted on rusty rims I FACTS ABOUT TRUCK AND BUS TIRES On truck and bus tires particularly in the over-the- road inter-city inter service the situation is less satis satis- factory Truck and bus tires are operated under pore more severe conditions than passenger car tires They are are heavier thicker thicker generate generate more heat beat They are all too frequently overloaded must travel on any land kind landof of highway their work requires Again well we'll be perfectly frank about it synthetic truck and bus tires now built will not stand all the tho th abuse that the prewar tire would take especially overloading Progress is being made every day day but but overloading which damaged a prewar tire can ruin today's synthetic rubber tire The Tire Industry is bending every effort to solve the serious problems of furnishing satisfactory and sufficient tires to the truck and bus field But Dut a serious threat still exists to our most vital transportation So remember this while this while the treads of pres pres- present prest present t ent truck and bus tires are vitally the tho carcasses of these tires have a value to our truck I II operators and to the nation that is beyond price I Unless these tires are made to last and last there is almost certain to be a breakdown of truck service Every one of these tires must be recapped the th very cry minute it needs it before it-before before any damage if U Udone done to the carcass Speeds must be cut down especially on hot roads Overloads must be eliminated Proper Inflation Is a necessity Operators garage men drivers all have a heavy responsibility that they cannot now avoid These are arc straightforward statements The warning must most not go unheeded A new tire warranty recognizes these conditions but the real job is conservation I a aap- With conditions as they are are and synthetic rubber rub rub- rubber rubber ber in its present stage of development a new tire tint warranty has become necessary and has been adopt- adopt ed cd It applies to all aU tires Under its Hs terms injuries such su h as bruises body breaks cuts snags and heat failures as well as tread wear are not subject to adjustment consideration Nor are injuries or failures which result from improper tire care or misuse or abuse This includes include failure as a result of overload excess speed im im- improper improper proper inflation or other non defective conditions Or when tires tir s are used on runs rims not conforming to Tire and Rim Run Association Standards Remember the Remember the tire industry the Rubber Di DI-
