increases on a broad range of Chinese products.

Why would U.S. consumers buy imported tires from China in the first place? Most likely, because they are cheaper

than tires produced domestically or in other countries. Therefore, this tariff increase should cause U.S. consumers to

pay higher prices for tires, either because Chinese tires are now more expensive, or because U.S. consumers are

pushed by the tariff to buy more expensive tires made by U.S. manufacturers or those from other countries. In the

end, this tariff made U.S. consumers pay more for tires.

Was this tariff met with outrage expressed via social media, traditional media, or mass protests? Were there

“Occupy Wall Street-type” demonstrations? The answer is a resounding “No”. Most U.S. tire consumers were likely

unaware of the tariff increase, although they may have noticed the price increase, which was between $4 and $13
