There are many questions and opinions surrounding the market for off-the-road (OTR) tires, as there are in life, as 2021 begins to unfold amid the continuing pandemic. Times are anything but normal as vaccines begin to roll out around the country, but uncertainty about supply and distribution as well as skepticism by some means this year remains clouded regarding a return to normal life.
