The people who make the tires for new trucks are feeling the effects of the recession.


The Rubber Manufacturers Association reports it expects to see a 16 percent drop this year in shipments of new tires to truck manufacturers.


That’s nearly 4 million fewer tires than were sold to truck makers in 2007.
