Effective March 1, 2011, Michelin North America will increase prices on Michelin brand replacement agricultural tires sold in the United States and Canada.
The hikes will be up to 8%. Michelin says they are necessary "due to increasing raw material prices."
Michelin is the third manufacturer to announce domestic ag tire price increases in 2011. CGS Tyres Group (7.5% to 10%) and Titan Tire Corp. (up to 8%) will raise prices on Jan. 1.
