On the demand side: The semi-steel tire trading floor is still lively. Orders from some companies are in short supply, and there is a large gap in some tire models. Companies are actively scheduling production to fill the order gap; the overall construction of all steel tire companies is at a high level, and their inventory reserves are still acceptable, but the new order transaction performance is average. In terms of the market, the starting load of the tire industry continues to operate at a high level, with some companies starting to approach full production levels, and most companies have decent inventories.
