See the news here for example: U.S. slaps tariff on Chinese tire imports - UPI.com I can assure you that this has been heavily covered in the Chinese media for some time. I post it here because I don't want Prius drivers skating around on < 3 mm tread depth! If yours are getting thin, you might want to shop early and avoid a likely price increase. If you don't like Chinese tires (or products in general), that's fine with me.
