Price increases expected April 1st

If you need new tires for your car you might want to get them before the first of the month because that's when the price is going up.

Michelin has already served notice it will be hiking its prices starting April 1st

In a release, the tire maker says the majority of passenger and light truck tires will increase by 5 percent and motorcycle tires by 9 percent.

Manufacturers blame supply chain issues, the cost of fuel and rubber as well as issues affecting tires made in Russia.
