Bridgestone increases the price of off-road tires

Bridgestone Americas will increase the prices of off-road tires by 2% to 7%, effective Sept. 1.

The increasing will affect the mining, construction and industrial tires sold by Bridgeston.

"At this point, we've been unable to completely offset rising raw material, energy and transportation costs with improved efficiencies and therefore find it necessary to increase prices. We continue to search for new, innovative and efficient ways to bring the best product for the best price to all dealers," says Shawn Rasey, division manager.
