I talked to a guy this morning at the local off road shop. He told me tires, all brands, all styles, all origins will be going up by 35% July,1.
Does the make any sense to anyone?

 

everything is going up....no surprise

 

Guess I better hurry up and pick up my new tires soon.

 

Maybe I should hold off on selling my open country m/t's for a little while, I would imagine a 35% increase will drive up the market for used tires.

 

It just seemed a little far out to me. Has anyone else heard anything like that or is this guy FOS?

 

the tires i bought in january were 1199.99, 2 and a half years ago, they were 899.99.

 

I think there's something to do with the petroleum or some other crap or taxes are going up again....

3 bucks per tire fee for disposal I keep my old ones and sell them for 5 bucks to gardens they make great retaining walls LOL

 

A buddy of mine who owns a tire shop said alot of it has to do with the disaster in Japan. Alot of the tires are made there

 

Mine were made in korea. Quality hankook dynapro mts...

 

They may already be up 35% at some stores. Recently, I priced two small tires for my boat trailer. 185 70R 13. Price at NTB was 225.00!!!!! I bought at a family owned operation for 1/2 that.
