We have carried on discussions several times in the tire forums here, about chinese made tires on our trailers. There is a distinct possibility that these tires are going to get more expensive, due to tariffs that the US may impose on them.
Maybe the tire companies will find out it's not cheaper to farm the tire manufacturing out to China. However, there could be some political repercussions of this tariff.
