Continental Boosting Truck Tire Prices

Continental Tire North America said it will boost prices up to 8% on all Continental and General Tire Brand truck tires in North America, effective Aug. 1.

The price increase will vary by market line and/or tire size, the company said in a statement.

“This price increase is a result of the continued escalation of transportation, energy and raw material costs that we are unable to compensate with increased manufacturing efficiencies,” said Tom Fanning, director of original equipment truck tires for the Americas.
