Maxam Tire North America Inc. will increase the prices of its radial, specialty, industrial and construction product lines by up to 7% in the U.S. and Canada.

“This pricing action is necessitated by the continued escalation in the cost of raw materials, as well as freight expenses that have impacted us in 2016 and will continue to be a factor in the business,” said John Overing, director of sales and marketing for Maxam. “As always, Maxam will continue to position our products to provide the best value for both our dealer network and our end user customers.”

The price increases will go into effect April 1, 2017.

Federal Bill Introduced in Hopes to Stop California’s Gas-, Diesel-Powered Vehicle Ban

If approved, H.R 1435 would prevent the EPA from allowing California’s Zero Emissions Vehicle regulations that would ban motor vehicles with internal combustion engines from taking effect.

U.S. Rep. John Joyce (R-PA) has introduced a bill (H.R. 1435) to protect Americans’ right to choose the technology that powers their motor vehicles.

The “Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act” was introduced in response to California’s plans to ban the sale of new gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks in 2035 unless certain conditions are met, Joyce's office says. If approved, H.R 1435 would prevent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from allowing California’s Zero Emissions Vehicle regulations that would ban the sale or use of new motor vehicles with internal combustion engines from taking effect.
