global shipping (to and from the US)
Labor shortages that have been widely reported for months now have impacted various types of production and transportation. You can probably understand why tires are expensive, but depending on what kind you get, they've always been expensive. Try buying some 19" or 20" Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires, or even worse, track specific tires.

Factor in that wages have remained stagnant for the past 10+ years as well. No raises or bonuses last year to "help" the company, took a 10% pay cut on top of it. Raises this year? Who the fuck knows, and now we've had 3 people at corporate quit this week, with one of my associates quitting due to being transferred from his assignment with my plant.
Which reminds me, need to buy rears for the red car....,
