There is a lot of buzz on the net about a lot of these tires being dangerous and short lived. The Chinese don’t give a crap about quality control, safety etc. Anything to make a buck and you never know when they will subsitute materials or change specs without purchasers knowing.
It would have been more clever just o ban them for safety reasons and hold them up for years due to that.

That can be addressed in the market place, and by requiring that tests be performed, by requiring conformance to safety standards.

To simply assess a 'tariff' IMO is, well, dumb.
