NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Aug. 21, 2003) — Bridgestone/Firestone is raising prices by up to 4 percent on Bridgestone and Firestone brand replacement passenger and light truck tires, effective Oct. 1.
The price increase is due to higher raw material costs, including the cost of utilities, according to the Nashville-based tire maker. The price adjustment varies by product line and will be effective for all orders placed on or after Oct. 1.
