I don't like any kind of unfair trade imbalance, and I see tariffs as well as government subsidies for businesses as both being emblematic of the same problem...They each have the same effect, that of raising the prices we all pay...I have not kept up with which tariffs were emplaced by which country and which were delayed or removed...However, I did find an example of wildly fluctuating prices while looking through Amazon yesterday...I bought new tires for my truck earlier this year, Chinese manufacture...245/70R19.5 Load Range H...I took a big chance on an unknown brand made by Chicoms, but they have served me well so far...

Beyond that the price I paid in February was $174.00 each including freight to my door, no sales tax...Yesterday the price for the same tire was $393.00 each, still including shipping...The price is now comparable to Michelin...I have no idea whether the 225% increase was the result of tariffs or just the seller taking a bigger profit...Either way I congratulate myself for buying when I did...

I'm wondering if anyone else can cite examples of extreme price differences on imported products, and can it be tied to tariffs?......Ben
