QUINCY, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Titan Tire Corporation, a subsidiary of Titan International, Inc.
(NYSE:TWI), will implement a price increase on tires and assemblies
for original equipment manufacturers, effective July 1, 2008.

   The increase will range from 7 percent to 37 percent, depending on
the tire, to offset rising costs for natural rubber, bead wire and
oil-based material such as synthetic rubber and carbon black. Overall
synthetic rubber shortages have also contributed to rising raw
material costs.

   Titan International, Inc., a holding company, owns subsidiaries
that supply wheels, tires and assemblies for off-highway equipment
used in agricultural, earthmoving/construction and consumer (including
all terrain vehicles) applications. www.titan-intl.com
