• Maybe not domestically, almost certainly in regards from getting them from Japan to the US.

    The other company that we deal with fairly regularly is Simworks who is much smaller and is also shipping tyres from Japan. Prices have increased with them, but not as much as Rene Herse. Also with Rene Herse these price increases only are for tyres and not for anything else they sell.

  • Does Panaracer make both of those companies’ tires?

    Yup. There are surprisingly few tyre manufacturers around:
    Cheng Feng & Kendra makes tyres numerous companies.
    Vitoria owns Lion Tires who manufacture for both Specialized and Trek.
