First off, have you been running around with a bag on your head? People have been complaining about tire prices for years now, ever since oil first went nuts back in 2007-2008.
Tires are made from oil, and oil went from $30 a barrel to $140 a barrel back a few years ago. Tire prices shot up, and farmers quit buying tires. When oil went back down in the market crash of 2008, tire manufacturers had warehouses full of tires made with $140 oil. Farmers still weren't buying tires, so the prices never came back down.
The tariffs on Chinese tires only brought the Chinese tires more in line with American tires. If not for the tariff, BKTs would be about 1/2 the cost of Firestones instead of 80%.
USED tires??? Are you kidding? Any good used tire that isn't grossly overpriced gets snapped up before it's even off the tractor. Heck, I sold a pair of dried-up, checked carcasses to a guy who put them on his tractor and is running them.
