rising oil prices and a weak USD will do that. but the closed factories in japan are the straw that broke this camel's back. yokohama, toyo, bridgestone and dunlop/falken consumers will feel the impact the hardest (i've personally witnessed dunlop raise the prices twice in the last year on the size i'd already bought, even before the tsunami - $173/tire in 3/10 for 245/45R18, now $217), but korean manufacturers (kumho/hankook) are suffering through their own financial trials and tribulations too.
