I enjoyed this little propaganda film made in America in 1942. It's a thriller about a criminal organisation making and selling low-quality car tyres from re-used rubber, hence the title. The situation arose due to the strict rationing in place in America during the war years and has plenty of propaganda elements, particularly in a lengthy moralistic conversation at the outset.
Otherwise this is a strict B-movie made on a low budget, albeit one with plenty of action and incident to sustain the hour-long running time. The main character is a low key criminal just released from prison who decides to get involved in the racket himself, only to realise the danger to life it poses. He then goes up against the bad guys with the help of his girlfriend. It all ends in one of those delightfully ferocious brawls that usually ended these productions.
