Anybody bought tires lately?

I needed to get a new pair of tires for the front of my F-150. I actually wanted them back in January. Yesterday I drove down to Marty's to see about a pair, $150 a piece! Ouch! for a 245-75-16 LT. Marty told me that had I bought them in January they would have been $110 each. Marty told me of a trade magazine article that explained how the domestic tire manufacturers whined and cried to the goverment about the un-fair trade practices. What's a goverment to do? Slap a 35% tarriff on the imports. What's a domestic manufacturer to do now that the playing field has been leveled some? Why raise their prices 35% and claim they still can compete. Seems to be the American way these days. I did find a decent used pair of tires on CL that were more in my price range.
