Titan Tire Corporation, a subsidiary of Titan International, Inc. (NYSE: TWI), will implement a price increase on Titan and Goodyear branded farm and construction tires, effective November 1, 2007. The increase of up to 5% will offset rising raw material and energy costs, but certain tire prices may rise more than 5% due to repositioning of the product.
Goodyear Tire (NYSE:GT) and Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. (NYSE:CTB) probably just got some more pricing power. With oil at $80.00+ and rising commodity costs, they are going to need it. Granted, this is in the larger industrial and agricultural tires rather than full scale consumer auto tires, but where there is smoke…..there’s a tire.

The Average American Is Losing Their Savings Every Day (Sponsor)
If you’re like many Americans and keep your money ‘safe’ in a checking or savings account, think again. The average yield on a savings account is a paltry .4% today, and inflation is much higher. Checking accounts are even worse.
Every day you don’t move to a high-yield savings account that beats inflation, you lose more and more value.
But there is good news. To win qualified customers, some accounts are paying 9-10x this national average. That’s an incredible way to keep your money safe, and get paid at the same time. Our top pick for high yield savings accounts includes other one time cash bonuses, and is FDIC insured.
Click here to see how much more you could be earning on your savings today. It takes just a few minutes and your money could be working for you.
