    FORT MILL, S.C.—Continental Tire the Americas L.L.C. plans to raise prices on select Continental- and General-brand passenger and light truck tires in the U.S. on March 1.

    Conti did not specify the size of the increases, saying instead they will "vary across specific products by brand." The company intends to relay the details of the increase to direct customers before Feb. 1.

    Continental did not comment on its reasons for raising prices. It last raised prices on tires in North America in January 2019.

    Continental becomes the ninth company to raise prices or disclose plans for an increase in the past few months.
