The next shortage for autos?

I have to replace a tire on a tractor on the farm....so I go to my tire dealer, and never had a problem getting tires. Now.....there is a tire shortage on some tires, especially farm equipment. My dealer calls his distributor on a possible different make of tire. Seems there is a shortage of raw materials for all tire manufactures to make new tires. Some have it worse than others, but for most it is becoming critical and this includes Europe. The distributor stated that new car production will get first priority, and getting new tires for vehicles already owned might be very tough in the coming months, especially if you do not have the common tire sizes....Just an observation from my end.
