Now we're all paying the piper. Nothing much we can do, now. Guess it's like gasoline---ya gotta buy new sooner or later
US tire manufacturers cried to the Govermnat that the imports were killing them. To "save" jobs here in the US, the government needed to raise tarriffs on imports, and it did but US manufacturers also raised their prices thus the difference in price between inports and US tires are the same but all prices are higher.
