It was common practice where practical for manufacturers to try to avoid potential supply source stoppages by purchasing from multiple sources, for example Packard's use of both AutoLite and Delco electrical components. The same practice was followed for tires.

By way of example, in the 1934 Dealer Information booklet itd was noted that tlres were sourced from Firestone, Goodyear, Goodrich, and U.S. (later U.S Royal).
