Tire price hikes coming at us

[Ed in Maine]

Since last October, the price has gone up $21.00/Firestone Tire at Synders. Ed

I work in the cycling industry and while tires and tubes have been impossible to find since the pandemic started we have received word of the rubber/latex "shortages" in Malaysia combined with the untenable shipping situation will impact pricing.

Wholesale tube prices have nearly doubled.

When people want things and you don't have the or can't get them then pricing follows.

just wait till you see the prices of radiators, anything with stainless steel, cardboard boxes, and not to mention the cost of labor all have had huge increases since January.

Supply chain shocks are affecting literally every industry I'm aware of.

I blew mine on a new engine. Now I need new tires. I’m thinking radials this time around hoping they get more miles than the Goodyear’s

are holding back on their ships..........causing a shortage everywhere of chinese goods, worldwide, including europe. another reason for tire prices going up..........
they control 3 of 4 ships worldwide.

IMO, the Chinese play a very cunning long game and we democracies have no hope against them because our "leaders" can't look past the next election, then, if there is a change of party, the first thing the new one does is undo all the previous one did. Back to square one!

[ronn]

totally agree synch


while Im no fan of russia- putin has had 40 yrs of straight rule and can point the country in one direction. here in the US it is nothing more then a circus!


say bye bye to democracy..............

I just put tires on my F-150 yesterday. $ 1140.00. Dealer said they would be going up very shortly. WOW

[slatgrille]

Sounds like we'll be rationing rubber, i.e. WWII...start putting those wooden wheels, or old patched up tires back on!

Speaking of shortages. One of my garage door openers broke the other day. I had the guy come out/in to pronounce it dead. The motor control board is dead. He said that I am lucky. His company is one of the few that has the material to make the door springs. The end pieces on the springs all come from China and they have been unavailable for some time. If you are thinking of putting in a new garage door - do it sooner than later.

My neighbor sells a lot of custom built windows.What he has to do now,and he hates it,is to ask the customers right up front when they need them.If it's a simple job to measure and figure,it only takes him six hours to do a quote.He can easily spend 15 or 20 hours consulting with a customer to write a quote.He's in the same boat with small hardware.He is being told it could be 5 months out.I can't get some parts for a Stihl chainsaw because of a PVC supply problem.

Ph. Company I'm working for now need a set for the 2018 Chevy 3/4 ton.

A technician went to the local tire shop last month and the quote was for $1824. Granted they are a heavier ply truck tire but still

And like Vic said, a guy that lives close to me has been waiting on overhead garage door parts since about May, to fix his door. They still aren't here. Coming from China of course.
