First off, have you been running around with a bag on your head? People have been complaining about tire prices for years now, ever since oil first went nuts back in 2007-2008.
Tires are made from oil, and oil went from $30 a barrel to $140 a barrel back a few years ago. Tire prices shot up, and farmers quit buying tires.

USED tires??? Are you kidding? Any good used tire that isn't grossly overpriced gets snapped up before it's even off the tractor. Heck, I sold a pair of dried-up, checked carcasses to a guy who put them on his tractor and is running them.
