I'm shopping for tires on another car - I called my local tire store who does most of my car work and they asked if they could call me back - news is out that tire prices are going up 10-30% at the end of the month and they're a bit swamped with calls right now. A quick Google news search suggests that this may be across the board from all manufacturers. I've got a Tire Rack price that I can live with so I'm just price checking at this point before hitting the "send" button, but if you're in the market for tires I suggest you act quickly.
