Bridgestone to Raise Domestic Retail Tire Prices by an Average of 5% in September

How long does it usually take from the tire price hike announcement to actually hitting shelf prices?

Bugs me that the article doesn't have a breakdown of which models are affected or the specific price increase.

If it closes the price gap with overseas tire makers, some people will probably start switching over there.

They say average 5%, but I'm worried some models might have a much bigger increase than that.

If Bridgestone raises prices, other brands will probably follow suit.

A 5% tire price hike, quietly a real hit to running costs.
