The increase — the second so far in 2021 —will take effect for off-the-road product lines on June 1 and for passenger and light-truck tire lines on July 1. The tire maker said inline adjustments also will be made on a per size basis. "This increase has been driven by multiple factors, including increased costs on sea freight, transportation (and) raw materials, in addition to other market factors," Abhishek Bisht, assistant vice president, Americas, said.
