Two more tiremakers have jumped on the price increase bandwagon.
Kumho Tire USA and Pirelli Tire North America joined a fast-growing list of tiremakers adjusting pricing going into the new year.
Kumho said it would raise prices on all of its passenger, light truck/SUV and commercial truck tires by up to 8% as of Jan. 1, 2010.
Pirelli, meanwhile, is taking increases up to 4.5% on all of its passenger and light truck/SUV lines excluding the P4/P5 lines as of Jan. 1.
In the past few days, Goodyear, Yokohama, Bridgestone Americas, Continental Tire North America and Nexen Tire America all announced increases.
