Did you notice Tire Prices?

My tire cost went up 20% couple months ago. My rep clued me in so I was able to buy 60 before the increase. sure they won't be going down any time soon

 

Don't feel bad...i don't make any money either and I tattoo...I ain't like TV i'll tell you that. I am looking to get trucking cause its so bad....i just put it on a bad economy..

 

Just this month spent $1800 on my SUV in parts and labor....4 yrs. ago it would have been about $1000....So as like many of you here...not real fond of the Administration in the white house...But what can you do....

 

Aaaaaahhh sooooooooooo!

 

Strouhal tire (713) 672-2666 ask for Robert
Stewart tire 713.947.8524 ask for John
They both are in Houston, TX

 

I put on 2 new goodyear 24.5 XZA 3 steers, about 900 each-prices here in Canada are NUTS! I bought 8 new, virgin agressive Dunlop drives (dont remember the model) in the states, about 4k. Here they are about 6k.
With Mr. Sotoro in the white house, expect your prices to go up like ours did. Insurance is crazy up here too, but thats for another thread

God Save the USA!

 

Jeremy, maybe you should price out your tires with a relative instead of the tire dealers. I can you the 881's (the agressive Dunlop) for under the $4k mark and get a steer as good as those Michelins for $400 a piece. By the way, you won't be happy with the 881's. They are no Bridgestone, thats for sure. I'm going to spring the extra $ for the 775 next time for all of my trucks.

 

Apparently prices are up on average 92% year-over-year. This increase is fueled by both supply (or lack thereof) and raw material price increases. I'm told supply is the bigger of the two issues. With commodity prices moderating it should help slow down the increases once they make their way through the supply chain. But then again, what do I know

 

Oh I agree with you, its all his fault. The President of the United States caused the price for tires to go up in Canada. If it wasn't for him, we'd have fuel at .99 cents a gallon, the housing market would be booming, GM/Daimler Chrysler wouldn't have had to file for bankruptcy. Just terrible...

 

a little sarcasm there freigtlinerman, did I say he caused OUR prices to go up? No I didn't. Don't be puttin' words in my mouth.
Regardless of where ya get them, they are friggin expensive; just like everything else.........
