FULLERTON, Calif. (Jan. 25, 2010)—Pointing to continued increases in raw material and energy-related costs, Yokohama Tire Corp. said it will hike light and medium commercial truck tire prices by 7 percent on March 1.
The company, which last boosted prices on the truck tire lines on Sept. 1, 2008, said there also will be in-line adjustments announced at a later date. The increase doesn't affect off-the-road, light-truck and consumer tires.
