I was told by an inside source that tire manufactures are looking to raise prices by as much as 9%, as of March 9, 2011. Has a lot to do with recent gas prices and oil prices going up.

Supply and demand and inflation is one thing but this sudden hike is what kills me. I mean, think about it, the days after "9/11", gas prices skyrocketed to over $3/gal. Some places even went to $4 or $5. Well, here we are, just about 10 years later and prices have just about gotten to where they were in the days that followed.
On the flipside though, gas prices in England had been like $9/gal for years. Cigarettes in canada are outrageous. Or i like to look at thinks like white-out or Pepto Bismol; those things are hundreds of dollars per gallon.

I thought the recent spike in gas prices had to do with the unrest in Libya? And that's being resolved as we speak so gas prices should come back down soon. As for the tire prices going up i have no idea whats the real reason but im glad i just got new tires installed.Last edited by Gemini; 02-24-2011, 02:17 PM.1993 Accord LX - Sold

Ugh.
I was all set to buy a set of 31x10.5 BFG All Terrain KOs earlier in the month, but since I'm not able to drive right now, I can't buy tires any time soon.
I've been watching the prices fluctuate as it is, going from $142/tire to $150/tire. I'd prefer they don't go up again.Comment

In conventional tires, the majority of the material is petroleum-derived.
