Six Percent More For Continental Tyres

Continental Commercial tyre prices increased by seven percent in August. Effective 1st November, prices for passenger car tyres (summer and winter) and light truck tyres are to rise six percent. Higher costs for raw materials, oil and chemicals, as well as more expensive energy and distribution costs, are the reasons for this decision.

The company cannot continue to absorb rising costs without passing them on. The retailer’s situation is comparable. “Our decision provides an opportunity for the retailers to improve the gross profit in their own field”, Jescow von Puttkamer told NEUE REIFENZEITUNG.
