How's your inflation? #1

2. Working in the tire business, inflation is maybe -2% this year

Prices have dropped by about 2% over the past year, after being pretty flat the year before. They just about doubled from 2006-2009, so its not like they're getting cheap or anything, but still a slight decrease.

Lots of new cars have been coming out with big expensive low profile tires, so the mix is still shifting towards higher average tire costs, but if you look at the same size/same brand pricing, it has gone down a little.

My electric and water bills have been stable for 5 years.
