Bridgestone increases Dayton brand tire prices

Mar 7, 2019

Truck drivers buying Dayton brand truck tires will notice higher prices for future purchases.

Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations announced this week a 20 percent price increase on Dayton truck and bus radial tires sold in the U.S. shipped on or after March 5. The company cites “increased business costs and other market dynamics” for the increase.

Bridgestone Commercial sales team members are contacting customers to provide more detailed information about the changes.

The truck itself doesn't feature patriotic graphics, but owner Clifton Parsley's 'Heavy Hook' 2024 Peterbilt 389 tow truck can be seen at various truck shows throughout the year hoisting Old Glory high above the parking lot.
