Rubber production has been impeded by COVID-related labor shortages at Asian rubber tree farms, along with the outbreak of a fungal leaf disease*.

“Tires are hard to come by right now; you’ve got higher prices and lower supplies,” Kevin Rohlwing, SVP of training for the Tire Industry Association (TIA), noted this summer. “We can’t say it’s a shortage, but in certain sizes and certain styles, you’re not going to be able to get them.”
