Not a fan of the tire industry. Doesn’t really care for the dynamics. It has a great deal of trouble passing through raw material costs. The collapse of oil prices has been a benefit, but it is going to be very difficult to repeat a decline in oil. He believes the company is very involved in OEM tires. This works by them selling the tires at cost with the car. They are then looking to get the replacement tire business. That is a terrible dynamic.
This has a low P/E ratio because it is a cyclical stock. It has benefited from the price of oil. Its biggest raw material in making tires is oil. Also, you use tires to drive and as the price of gasoline goes down, miles driven goes up so the replacement of tires goes up. This will probably continue to do well.
