Just spent a thousand dollars on new Falken tires for our Ram 1500. Trump's tariffs in action.

So SCOTUS shot down his crazy tariffs. Do I get a refund on my truck tires?
Yeah, I didn't think so.

Every few years, the tires on your car wear thin and need to be replaced.
But where does that lost tire material go?
The answer, unfortunately, is often waterways,
where the tiny microplastic particles from the tires’ synthetic rubber carry several chemicals that can transfer into fish, crabs and perhaps even the people who eat them.
Millions of metric tons of plastic waste enter the world’s oceans every year.
In recent times, tire wear particles have been found t…

One of the biggest microplastic pollution sources revealed – and it’s not straws or bags
Tire wear particles have been found to account for about 45 per cent of all microplastics in both terrestrial and aquatic systems
