Default Re: WWII gas ration sticker placement?

Early in the war, citizens were asked to turn in their spare tires to aid the war effort. An immense pile was collected on the athletic field at Fort Snelling in Minneapolis. They remained there throughout the war and for several years thereafter, and were in clear view of an adjacent highway. I often wondered what ever became of them, and the reactions of the people who had contributed to the pile as they drove by.
