Market-leading tire manufacturers including Michelin, Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Bridgestone, and Nokian have been sued in federal court by consumers alleging price fixing dating back to the beginning of the Covid pandemic. At that time, supply chain issues disrupted regular pricing and delivery to the American market, giving cover to excessive price increases that remained artificially high when inflation eased and supply had been restored. The higher prices still charged by several brands suggest coordinated pricing that, if undertaken by individual manufacturers, would have reduced market share to their detriment. American consumers have been forced to absorb these higher prices as a result of this coordination between supposed competitors. If you purchased tires made by one of these major tire brands anytime since early 2020, you may have paid too much, and Keller Rohrback wants to talk to you.
