That tariff was only on CHINESE tires; Chinese tires are quite heavily subsidized, and China had been saturating the market with below-cost tires in an attempt to drive American tire companies out of business. Sure, the price went up some, but the price of MOST things would go up if Chinese industries weren't so heavily subsidized and their currency wasn't kept at artificial levels and other countries had to struggle to compete.
Anyway, GL on the sale!
