Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions has announced a 12 per cent price increase on its Bridgestone and Firestone brand truck and bus radial tyres, effective immediately. Upon announcing the pricing changes, company president Kurt Danielson stated “unfortunately, severely escalating raw material costs, as well as energy and other costs related to manufacturing, have made a price increase of this level unavoidable. We remain committed always to provide a premium package of quality and value to our customers.”
