    Rancho Cucamonga, California – Sumitomo Rubber North America Inc. will raise prices in the US and Canada on Falken- and Ohtsu-brand consumer and medium truck tires in the coming months.

    Prices of passenger and light truck tires will increase by up to 8%, effective 1 Jan. SRNA said. Prices of medium truck tires are set to rise up to 6%, effective 1 Dec.

    The action will include inline adjustments on a per size basis, the company added.

    Sumitomo Rubber North America last raised prices on Falken-brand tires on 1 March, by up to 5%.

    The Rancho Cucamonga-based company cited several factors for the need to raise prices, including increased costs in both transportation and labour as well as other market factors.

    •    Goodyear on all Goodyear- and Dunlop-branded passenger and light truck tires in the US by up to 5%, on 1 Dec;

    •    Hankook Tire America Corp., on its lines of commercial truck tires in the US by up to 5% on 1 Dec;

    •    Yokohama Tire Corp., by up to 5% on select consumer replacement tires sold in the US, effective 1 Nov; and by up to 6%, effective 1 Dec, on "select" commercial tire lines; and

    •    Bridgestone Americas Corp., on radial Firestone truck and bus tires, effective 1 Nov, by an average of more than 5%, with some prices by more than 8%.
