NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Sept. 8, 2010)—Bridgestone Americas' Off-Road Tire, U.S. & Canada Tire Sales division plans to increase list prices for mining, construction and industrial tires by 2 to 7 percent with some in-line adjustments, effective Sept. 1.
“We continue to search for new, innovative and efficient ways to bring the best product for the best price to all dealers,” said Shawn Rasey, president, BAOR. “At this point, we've been unable to completely offset rising raw material, energy and transportation costs with improved efficiencies, and therefore, we fine it necessary to increase prices on our off-the-road tires.”
Bridgestone last raised OTR tire prices April 1, by up to 4 percent.
