Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
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. |

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us

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

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
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

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
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!

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
Sounds like we'll be rationing rubber, i.e. WWII...start putting those wooden wheels, or old patched up tires back on!

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
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.

Re: Tire price hikes coming at us
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.

Quote:
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. Last edited by Jeff/Illinois; 08-28-2021 at 01:49 PM. |
