According to Khabaronline news agency, the tire industry trade association announces the drop in the production of factories in the first half of 1405. The reason for this is the difficulty of importing raw materials, which have arisen due to the specific conditions of the country and have no domestic substitutes.
Ferraro wrote: This is only a part of the appearance of the tire market, but when we go to the market, there is no such thing as a lack of tires. However, unofficial statistics report a decrease in the desire to buy new tires and an increase in the use of second-hand tires. Imagine a Peugeot 206 driver. If he goes to Iranian brands to replace all four rings, he should pocket 32 ​​million tomans in the best possible case.
According to the claim of the Tire Industry Trade Union, the circulation of domestic factories has dropped by 30-33% in the first half of the year. This reduction in production has directly limited the supply of products to dealers and disturbed the balance of distribution. Factories have been forced to reduce the speed of production lines due to liquidity problems and lack of primary resources, and this has reduced the amount of goods entering the market in recent months. We should consider all these words as claims of the tire industry trade association.
The share of imports in the supply of raw materials needed by this industry is estimated between 35 and 40 percent. An important part of rubber-making materials such as natural rubber and some specialized chemicals are not produced domestically, and factories need to import these items.
You are probably aware of the situation in the country and know the import problems better than us. However, continuous delays in the allocation and supply of foreign currency have slowed the clearance of goods from customs and caused a temporary shortage of raw materials in factories’ warehouses.
On the other hand, the costs of domestic production inputs have also jumped. The price of materials such as carbon black or tire thread and steel wire has increased. All these words show that the cost of tire production has increased in the current period compared to the same period last year.
What is the view of the tire market?
The tire market is facing an important paradox in its current situation. At the same time, tires are in the market, but the level of demand for buying tires is not satisfactory for sellers and manufacturers. If you visit the retail market, you will find that there is no shortage of store shelves and distribution warehouses.
But customers for any reason – you read the expensiveness of tires – do not have high purchasing power. Consumers sometimes prefer using used tires to buying new tires.
The increase in the price of tires has naturally caused a sharp jump in car maintenance costs. Tire is one of the consumption and safety items, and its depreciation is directly related to the daily operation of the car.
What is the price of the tire?
Observation of the tire market shows that the cheapest size 13 tire produced by Iranian factories, which is suitable for a car like Pride, now costs five million and 800 thousand tomans per ring. We are talking about the cheapest option available in the market, which costs 23 million and 200 thousand tomans to buy a full set of four rings of Iranian tires for Pride. This number is for a car that is considered the most economical vehicle in the Iranian market.
The suitable tire for Peugeot 206 is size 14. The floor price of size 14 tires in domestic brands is about eight million tomans per ring. The calculation of the cost of four tires for Peugeot 206 shows 32 million Tomans. To this amount, the costs of replacing or valving and balancing the wheels should be added. In this way, the price of tires for a normal city car accounts for a major part of the owners’ savings.
If we go for foreign tires, the prices will be higher. For example, two rings of size 14 Nexen brand tires are sold for 38 million Tomans, and buying four rings of Nexen tires costs 76 million Tomans.
