QUINCY, Ill. (Jan. 17, 2008) — Titan Tire Corp. plans to implement a price increase effective March 1 on Titan-, Goodyear- and General-brand off-the-road, farm and construction tires.
The increase of up to 7 percent will offset rising raw material, energy and transportation costs, the Titan International Inc. subsidiary said. Certain tire prices may rise in excess of 7 percent due to realignment and positioning of the product, the company said.
