I bought a couple of tires for wife unit's ride today. Tire shop owner was all stirred up. I asked what gives. His reply: "Fucking Obama". Inflation, Apparently Glenn Beck is right. All tires going up, 10 to 20% TODAY!
$10 to 18 per tire according to my tire guy.

I need new shoes for the truck...prices aren't what they were 5 years ago, and this sure as hell won't help.

Yep, I read that somewhere else as well.

Glad I got new tires a month ago. Even then, it was fucking EXPENSIVE. Like $700 for my truck.
