Titan Tire Corporation, a subsidiary of Titan International Inc. (NYSE:
TWI), will implement a price increase on Titan, Goodyear and General
branded off-the-road, farm and construction tires, effective October 1,
2008.
The increase of up to 10 percent will offset rising raw materials, such
as natural and synthetic rubber, steel, carbon black and energy. Certain
tire prices may rise in excess of 10 percent due to realignment and
positioning of the product.

supply wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway equipment used in
agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer (including all
terrain vehicles) applications. For more information, visit www.titan-intl.com.
