Title: Price of Tires are going Up
Post by: luvrbus on September 09, 2016, 11:59:04 AM
I was at my guys tire shop today he said if need bus tires buy now the feds are imposing a $20.00 fee for each truck or bus tire imported to the US even if it is a American owned plus they left the door open for local agencies to collect their greedy part.

With all the stuff on TV about the age of tires he said you are going to find not many in stock because the tire manufactures are waiting on a big order before they manufacture tires now.

He showed me his empty warehouse it contained about a 1/4 of the tires he usually stocks,he has $150,000.00 worth of tires on back order now and growing.It is always something to raise the cost of owning one of the beast ???

There are probably a large amount of people that are voting Trump that just won't say it, but either way I don't think it will make tires cheaper.

I would be careful about what you write.  Kim Jung Un has just made sarcasm illegal!

     Sorry to turn away for politics and look at reality but there was a release in just the past few weeks that said that the tariff on some Chinese tires that are manufactured by companies that are not "dumping" are being reduced.  If tariffs are being reduced and somebody is increasing prices because "it's duh Gummint's fawtt", it seems like they're telling lies and blaming their own selfishness on the Government.  How unusual.
