Yokohama tire prices increase
February 4, 2010
| by: Lanier Norville
| Prices on light and medium commercial truck tires will increase up to 7 percent March 1, Yokohama Tire Corp. announced. The Fullerton, Calif.-based tire maker said the price increase is because of higher costs of raw material and energy-related expenses.
In-line adjustments, as well, will be announced at a later date. Off-the-road, light-truck and consumer tires will not be affected by the increase. |
