This 1959 industrial catalog is a specialized technical document published by the Central Bureau of Technical Information for the Yaroslavl Order of Lenin Tire Plant, one of the leading enterprises of the Soviet rubber industry. Issued during the Khrushchev era under the regional administration of the Economic Council (Sovnarkhoz), the catalog serves as a comprehensive guide to the range of tires produced for a wide variety of Soviet vehicles, including passenger cars, trucks, buses, and agricultural machinery. The text provides a deep typological analysis that offers a deep dive into the technical specifications and structural characteristics of tires during the late 1950s, including the arrangement of tread patterns, load capacities, and pressure requirements for iconic Soviet vehicles like the GAZ, ZIL, and Moskvitch series.
The volume is extensively illustrated with technical drawings and cross-sections that detail the internal composition of the tires, highlighting the materials and engineering standards of the Yaroslavl plant. As a primary source for the history of Soviet automotive engineering and regional industrial administration, the catalog reflects the period's focus on technological standardization and the expansion of the domestic transport infrastructure. To ensure its utility for mechanics, engineers, and supply officers, the book includes exhaustive tables and indices for various tire models and their specific applications. This 87-page document remains an essential artifact for researchers of Soviet industrial history and collectors of automotive ephemera, offering a rare glimpse into the practical side of the Soviet "motorization" efforts of the post-war decade.
