We've sold our souls to globalisation, and it will come back to hurt us badly in the not too distant future.

The push for ever cheaper goods.  It's what people want...  cheap shit.



Then again, I have always run American made tires on my work truck, but understand the expense of these...  Two American made front steers are almost $2,500.  Eight American made drive tires cost me $4,000.  My pony has another eight tires.



That's over $10,000 for me to replace all the tires.



Many guys have switched to Chinese tires, at least on the drive and trailer axles.  These things are sometimes even cheaper than retreads!



I am seriously considering switching to Chinese tires also...  Profit margins are very slim in this business, and business is business.  Can't always be country/brand loyal when it comes to profits...

It's the same in the oil patch. We already have our oil discounted nearly fifty per cent because we can't get it to international markets(thanks Trudeau). Contractors are buying cheaper parts from Asia instead of Ontario or Texas just to make ends meet.
