"The increase is the result of the continued escalation of raw materials, energy and logistics costs affecting the production and distribution of radial truck tires," the company said in a statement. The increase will vary by marketing line and/or size, and may include a change in the company's marketing programs.
This is the second price hike for Continental truck tires in 2017. The tire maker increased prices by 8% on March 1.
