Although the funny thing is that car tires don't use the traditional rubber tree rubber anymore. But I'm not an expert, so who knows. And still, a shortage of natural rubber would still likely cause car tires to go up, since the material used for tires would probably be in higher demand, leading to an increase in the costs of tires. So I suppose that's still logical, since it's a related product.

Trucking companies are now stockpiling AdBlue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) and Truck tires (if the size they use is likely to encounter a shortage). Many sizes of truck tires are already skyrocketing in price.

Is it only truck tires?

Regular car tires here is close to the same price as it use to be.

Truck tires have more than doubled in cost.

Passenger car tires are up about 20% compared to pre-pandemic levels.

Wow, crazy. On the bright side, at least passenger car tires are available

There was a while there during covid where some brands and models were totally mia. There was a lot of press about the pending rubber shortage last year and I guess we're really seeing it now.

Yes!
