Bridgestone Will Hike OTR Tire Prices

NASHVILLE, TN - Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC's Off-Road Tire division will raise prices on its mining, construction and industrial tires up to 4 percent on April 1.

Some in-line adjustments will be made, as well. "Despite our efforts to absorb cost increases through efficiencies and other means, we are increasing prices in order to cover a portion of the rising costs for raw materials, energy and transportation," said Shawn Rasey, president of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operation's Off-Road unit.
