Question U.S. to impose tariffs on tires from China.

http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/09/1...ires/index.html

The tariffs will start at 35 percent in the first year, then would decline to 30 percent in the second year and 25 percent in the third.
I need to buckle down and purchase some All seasons and a Rear Pair of KDW2s for summers then.

If you want to buy a tires made in China, I pledge you don't let your family ride with you. I'm serious!

A friend bought a tires in Costco made in China, two of them blew on the way to Virginia.

Another friend bought a house in Florida, he couldn't figure why his son developed asthma. Found out his house sheet rock made in China emitting a bunch of unknown chemicals and smell too. He ripped the whole house and spent another $20,000 to clean/replace the whole walls.

I lost business because of the fraud fake chinese made turbo in ebay.
Yeah its cheap --- cost your life.

Tarriff? another socialistic move!
