Tire Prices

FILE - In this Nov. 10, 2009 file photo, a worker moves tires at a tire factory in Hangzhou, in east China’s Zhejiang province. Chinese-made tires meet U.S. safety standards but can cost significantly less, from a quarter to half the cost of tires from a major brand. Under the government’s new 35 percent tariff, which went into effect in September, a set of Chinese tires that would have cost $280 would now cost nearly $100 more.
