FONTANA, Calif. (Oct. 29, 2009) — Falken Tire Corp. is raising tire prices up to 7 percent on select Falken brand product lines, effective Dec. 1.
The increases are due to rising raw material prices, including natural rubber and crude oil, Falken said. The company added that it “has done everything possible to minimize the impact of these cost increases to our dealers, but we are now left with little choice but to pass on a portion of the significant cost increases we are experiencing.”
