All supplies used or consumed by tire repairmen and which do not pass on to their customers are taxable when purchased by them.(5) Sales by repairmen of repaired, retreaded, and recapped tires owned by them are subject to tax measured by the total sales price without any deduction for labor or cost of materials.
