Price of tires going up!
Buy your tires now....
Tire Companies will Raise Prices Due to Oil Crisis
At least four major tire makers have announced that tire prices will go up this fall due to the rising cost of oil and because prices for steel and natural rubber are also on the increase. Goodyear has had three price hikes this year already.
"If you look at it from a tire manufacturer's perspective, an oil price increase is a triple whammy for us," said Jim Davis, a tire company spokesman. "Oil is a major ingredient in the production of tires."
"It affects the cost to make tires, it affects the cost to heat or cool the plant where we make tires and of course the trucking cost to ship the tires." He went on to say that a $1 increase in the cost of oil costs the company about $20 million.
