Default Price Increases
Due to the continual oil prices rising manufacturers are forcing price increases. As of July 21st Mickey Thompson tires will have a price increase of %5 on average. AFCO has increased there pricing 5% also. I have a new shipment of tires that will be sold under the old pricing until they are gone.

Also the pricing on steel is continuing to rise. I am trying to keep the price increase for our in house products the same for the time being.

Go up while you can.....The longer you wait the harsher it will be....I would do gradual increases. Lessen the sticker shock.
