OPA Grants 3.3 Per Cent
Boost In Car Tire Prices

Washington-OPA has boosted
passenger tire prices 3.3 per cent
to compensate producers for high
er wage and materials costs.
AS a result, motorists will pay
$15.70-an increase of so cents
for the most generally used type
of passenger tire, the popular size
S.O0-16, four-ply casing.
The higher prices, effective i'm
nediately, also apply to motor
cycle tires, and the increase for
manufacturers and wholesalers is
the same as at retail-3.3 per
cent.
However, the pricc iiI-e covers
only tires sold for replacement
purposes. A AZ per cent increase
granted last week to manufac-
turers of tires for new cars was
