AKRON (Aug. 6, 2008) — Goodyear said it will boost prices in North America by as much as 10 percent for consumer and commercial tires and up to 7 percent for off-highway tires on Sept 1.
The price hikes affect all company brands including Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly, Republic, Remington and related tire lines, a company spokesman said.
The company said the increases are in response to escalating raw materials, transportation and other costs, the company said.
