AKRON (Aug. 3, 2004) — Goodyear will raise prices up to 5 percent on all brands of its tires, effective Sept. 1.
Prices will increase on consumer tires by up to 5 percent, by 2 percent on commercial tires, up to 5 percent on farm tires and 3-5 percent on off-the-road tires, Goodyear said.
The increases are in response to rising raw material, energy and transportation costs, according to the Akron-based tire maker.
