Start a topic about this in Club FTE and I will explain what it really means.

I saw this also Don. The Goodyear Silent Armors I put on my truck last year have already jumped almost $30 per tire since January '09.

that's what happens when you allow ALL your manufacturing to go overseas.

> when you allow ALL your manufacturing to go overseas

It is all about what was written into the "Stimulus" bill, who wrote it, it's intent, and that is about all I can say without discussing it outside Club FTE because doing so would violate guidelines for this forum.

It has nothing to do with overseas manufacturing , REALLY.

Though it is true it will cost $30-80 more per tire, guess it is a good thing I have been buying rims and tires early including some just to have for the next two years or so
