WTF happened?!?!?
« on: Aug 11, 2009, 11:40:32 AM »
Ok, I bought my IROK's in 2006 for $176 a piece....just looked at the prices now, for the SAME tire $339 a piece?!?!?!?

EDIT: Found them for $245 a piece, but still..... that is a 40% increase!

Those are both prices for bias, not radial.

It is a direct social derivative of the price of tea in China.

Lower prices to stimulate the economy. That's what.

Think about it, there are certain things people will always need.  If you have a car or truck, you'll eventually need tires, no matter what the current economic situation.  The tire shop I work in has 4 bays, and I heard them say we had a 161 tire day last week!  That was new tires, not counting the rotate/balances and flat repairs that came in.  I see lots of economy tires going out, but I also see plenty of expensive tires rolling out. 
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
