Of those, $107m is related to the previously announced plan to close the Tyler, Texas, tyre plant.
The results also reflected higher raw material costs of $249m, offset partially by $225m of improved price/mix, and lower tyre volume.
During the period, the company also recorded an after-tax gain of $10m from a supplier settlement, and after-tax expenses of $7m related to accelerated depreciation primarily for a previously announced plant closure in New Zealand.
Net income in the 2005 quarter was $142m (70 cents per share).
