Goodyear will hike tire prices up to 6%

Sept. 2, 2010

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. will raise its consumer tire prices up to 6% on Oct. 1.

The increase will encompass all of Goodyear's consumer tire brands, including Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelly, says a Goodyear spokesman. The tiremaker is hiking prices in response to escalating raw material costs.
