Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations LLC and Bridgestone Canada Inc. will increase the price of Firestone brand truck and bus radial tires on Feb. 1, 2019.
Increased costs and market dynamics are to blame for a price increase of up to 10% on Bridgestone, Firestone, and Bandag tires and retreads.
Although costs have increased, many fleets continued to cycle vehicles early to take advantage of still favorable resale market conditions. This strategy has reduced average vehicle age and helped minimize maintenance expenses.
MUSCATINE, IA - Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS), a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations has increased prices on its Firestone, Dayton, and Bandag brand products up to six percent.
