(UP) All passenger cars will be eligible for recapping services or for replacement tires under the national mileage program effective Nov.

22, but motorists will be limited by quotas to be assigned to rationing boards, the Office of Price Administration announced today. Thus all motorists may net get tires. However, OPA warned that a board may refuse to grant an application for a new tire if official inspection indicates the applicant has abused or neglected the tire he seeks to replace. Local boards will not be permitted to issue certificates in excess of their quotas. When a board receives more valid applications than its quota will accommodate, it must decide among the applicants "on the basis of relative importance to the war program, pub-lice health and public safety." 4 Emphasis on Recapping Emphasis will be placed on recapping tires now on cars with a material made almost entirely of reclaimed rubber, OPA said.

Car owners whose gasoline allowance is 560 miles a month or less will be eligible for purchase of a grade three tire provided their casings are unfit for recapping. Grade three tires include used tires, recapped tires, and new tires made of reclaimed rubber. These tires will be available to those who hold only books as well as to those who have both and books, OPA explained. Passenger car owners who get gasoline for more than 560 miles but less than 1,000 will be eligible for grade two tires if their tires cannot be recapped. This grade includes tires with a retail list price no higher than 85 per cent of grade one tire prices.

It also includes damaged new tires, tires marked "factory seconds" by manufacturers, all new tires manufactured before Jan. 1, 1938, and "changeover tires" which have gone less than 1,000 miles but which have run sufficiently to wear off mold marks. Car owners witfr monthly gasoline allotments in excess of 1,000 miles will be eligible for the best grade one -tires if their casings are not recappable. All mileage book holders will be eligible for new inner tubes. Motorcycle Tire Rules Motorcycle owners with gasoline for more than 560 miles monthly will be eligible for new tires if recapping is impossible.

Those permitted less than 560 miles monthly will be eligible only for grade three tires. Where a motorist has received basic gasoline ration books only, boards cannot issue certificates for grade three tires to be used as spares until after Nov, 25. A car owner who has a tire worn to the recapping point or who needs a replacement must have an official OPA tire inspector fill out a form recommending a recapping service or a replacement. This form then is presented to a war price and rationing board by the motorist. Cars held by dealers for resale are not eligible either for recapping or for replacement tires until transferred to a purchaser.
