Tyres made from Russian oil would be cheaper I guess.
Tires made in China would be cheaper, and Joe would let you have PLENTY of those. Of course they would be the same level of quality that Harbor Freight barrel truck tires have, and Harbor Freight rubber air hoses.

All of these come with a distinct "uncured" rubber smell, are plenty flexible, but harden and crack within the first year.

I bought 12 "swivel caster wheels" with rubber tires from Harbor Freight. Opening the box I was afraid to light a match lest there be an explosion from the gas.

Of those twelve, seven have now shed their tires.
