Default Random Tire Shortage Information

Certainly not to be an alarmist, but I was at my local tire shop for a tractor tire repair today, and the owner casually mentioned that he was fully expecting a tire shortage due to the Covid virus. He indicated that most tires sold in the US come from overseas; that the overseas plants are at a very limited (or no) manufacturing level, and that shipments to the United States are dwindling.
Why do I post this? Only because the availability of tires (and related rubber products) has a direct bearing on our hobby, as well as daily activities.
Don't shoot the messenger - make your own informed decisions.
