I worked at a Chevy dealer back then and there was a shortage of tires due to a strike I think. They were rationing tires and shipping new cars without the spare tire but with the rim in the trunk. Then the tires became available and the dealers got loads of tires for cars that were missing them. The parts department was a mess with tires stacked everywhere. We had no way of mounting or balancing tires off the car so customers picked up their tires and went to the tire store with a voucher for mount and balance.
