Kumho Tire USA, Inc. is raising prices up to 10 percent, with additional in-line adjustments, on its lines of car, truck and bus tires. The price increases will start Sept. 1.

Kumho last raised prices in May.

“Dramatic increases in the cost of raw materials and transportation necessitate this action,” says Rick Brennan, vice president of marketing.
