Price of Bridgestone products increases

Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions (BBTS), a division of Bridgestone Americas Tire Operations, has increased prices on its Bridgestone brand products. Effective July 1, 2010, Bridgestone brand truck and bus radial tire base prices have increased up to 6% in the United States.

“Bridgestone Bandag Tire Solutions continues to look for ways to balance costs and continue to deliver a premium package of value to our dealer and fleet customers. Today, however, we have reached a point where we must pass along some of the increased costs that are outside of our control including energy, fuel and raw materials,” said Kurt Danielson, vice-president, sales and marketing, BBTS.
