Titan will raise prices up to 7%

Jan. 17, 2008

Titan Tire Corp., a subsidiary of Titan International Inc., will raise prices on its farm and OTR tires up to 7%, effective March 1.

Increases will apply to Goodyear and Titan farm tires, as well as General brand OTR tires.

The hikes are designed to counter rising raw material, energy and transportation costs, say Titan officials.

"Certain tire prices may rise in excess of 7% due to realignment and positioning of the product."
