Bridgestone North America Prices to Rise up to 10%

Bridgestone Corporation is planning tyre price increases of up to 10 per cent in the US and Canadian markets. Prices for motorcycle, passenger car, truck and agricultural tyres will go up as of September 1, the company announced.

According to Asahiko “Duke” Nishiyama, President of BFNT and its parent company, Bridgestone Americas Holding, increased synthetic and natural supply difficulties and the resultant high prices are a key factor behind the price increases, along with increased fuel costs at every stage of production and distribution.
