April 29, 2010

Hankook Tire America Corp. will raise its passenger, light truck and medium truck tire prices up to 6% on June 1. Specific increases will vary by product line and tire size.

"While we remain focused on controlling our manufacturing and distribution expenses, the costs of energy, raw materials, and transportation has continued to rise, making it necessary for us to make this price adjustment," says Todd Hershberger, Hankook senior vice president.
