Tire tariffs: Are Chinese truck tires next?

Sept. 30, 2009

Will additional tariffs be imposed on medium/heavy truck tire imports from China, which have increased nearly 55% since 2004?

According to Modern Tire Dealer Editor Bob Ulrich, the numbers say no. At least some of the numbers.

In his latest B.O.B. blog, Ulrich delves into the numbers and analyzes them. That includes the increase in domestic truck tire imports both in units and as a percentage of total imports. He also looks at how all this affects the United Steelworkers.
