EU anti-dumping investigation into car tyres set to start, CRIA warns

, ,

Over the May bank holiday weekend (2-5 May) many of us were outside enjoying the sunshine. Not so at the European Commission where staff were apparently preparing for the initiation of an anti-dumping investigation into Chinese-produced passenger car radial tyres known as AD733. However, by the time we at Tyres & Accessories returned to work, all references to AD733 had been removed from the European Commission’s website. Nevertheless, we have seen screenshots of the page in question taken by more than three distinct sources. Cached search results also show pages referring to AD733. T&A contacted five different European Commission (EC) press officers for confirmation of the EC’s position in relation to investigating imports of Chinese-produced car tyres into Europe. At the time of going to press, there had been no comment from the EC.

Pirelli pauses USA investment plans

,

In response to media reports about possible investments in the United States, Pirelli says it has “for some time” considered increasing production capacity in that market, in line with a local-for-local strategy. But sometimes the ‘when’ is as important as the ‘if’ – and this is currently uncertain.

Chinese tyre companies respond to US tariffs

On 2 April, the Trump administration announced its intention to impose tariffs on all imported products entering the USA. Although the specific timing and final rates of these tariffs have yet to be determined, it is clear that this development will have a significant impact upon China’s tyre industry.

Well-positioned: Titan International’s pro-tariff statement

Anyone who has followed the career of Maurice “The Grizz” Taylor Jr over the years won’t be in the least surprised that the firm he founded has called attention to its strengths in light of the Trump tariffs. In a statement, Titan International, Inc. “proudly highlights” its “extensive domestic manufacturing capabilities and skilled workforce” at a time when “industries around the world begin to adapt to new tariff policy.”

US tariffs pose ‘significant risks’ to UK automotive sector – NFDA

,

The National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA) says the US trade tariffs of 10 per cent introduced on all UK imports to the USA, and 25 per cent on cars entering the US market pose “significant risks to the sector and the global economy as a whole.” The association appealed for the UK government to offer increased support to the sector as a result of the earthquake in global trade and its particularly severe implications for the automotive sector.

Trump’s 25% tyre tariff – further details

The share price for US-based tyre maker Goodyear jumped during the course of today’s trading, and it’s easy to see why when reading the ins and outs of the US Government’s proclamation introducing new tariff measures affecting imported vehicles and parts, including tyres. Local production becomes a whole lot more attractive now that, from 3 May 2025, tyres made in most parts of the world will attract a 25% ad valorem tariff.

Goodyear stock gets Trump-tariff bounce, non-US tyremakers down

,
(Source: Google Finance)

President Trump has said for months that he will introduce swingeing tariffs in a bid to restore the economic fortunes of the United States of America. A large part of the rationale behind the tariffs is his strategy of supporting US manufacturing. If that is the case, Goodyear has benefitted too with its shares up as much as 14 per cent when trading opened on the morning of 3 April, before falling slightly afterwards. Whatever figure Goodyear stock closes at, it looks likely to be up in the double-digit or high single-digit range. And that stands in stark contrast to the rest of the top five global tyremakers, all of which were down single-digit percentages following the official announcement of Trump’s tariffs.

Mutually beneficial relationship instead of tariffs – SMMT response to Trump announcement

Donald Trump’s second presidency has been anything but uneventful so far, and the automotive industry isn’t missing out on the excitement. The USA intends to impose tariffs of 25% on car and automotive parts imports from 2 April 2025, a measure that the SMMT calls “disappointing” but “not surprising”. The UK trade organisation calls upon the Trump government to consider alternate means of benefitting both British and American manufacturers.

China retaliates against US import tariffs

The specific measures China has imposed include: A 15 per cent tariff on coal and liquefied natural gas; A 10 per cent tax on crude oil, agricultural machinery, pickup trucks and large-engine cars; and export controls on 25 types of rare metal products.

Tariff talk likely to impact shipping costs

We have already reported how Donald Trump’s second term as US president is likely to result in wide-ranging import tariffs. The kind of 20 per cent general import tariffs and 60 per cent China-specific import tariffs are significant enough, but market analysts are highlighting the secondary impact of tariffs on shipping costs.

‘Tariff man’: What Trump 2.0 means for the tyre business

,

The scale of Donald Trump’s success in the recent US election surprised many and disappointed those looking for a return to the White House for the democrats. But whatever you think of the once-again President Elect, based on his many and varied promises to the electorate, there is no doubt that his second term will result in change. The question is how will that change affect tyre businesses?
