Dear Sirs    

Titan International, Inc. (the Company)
We report on the pro forma balance sheet (the “Pro forma financial information”) set out in Part 9 of the document regarded by the FSA as being equivalent to that of a prospectus (the “Prospectus Equivalent Document”) dated 14 September 2012, which has been prepared on the basis described in notes 1 to 7 to the Pro forma financial information for illustrative purposes only to provide information about how the Offer (as defined in the Prospectus Equivalent Document) might have affected the financial information presented on the basis of the accounting policies adopted by the Company in preparing its financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2012.
This report is required by paragraph 20.2 of Annex I to the Prospectus Directive Regulation No. 2004/809/EC enacted in the United Kingdom by the Prospectus Rules (the “PD Regulation”) and is given for the purpose of complying with that regulation and for no other purpose.
Responsibilities
Save for any responsibility arising under 20.2 of Annex 1 to the PD Regulation to any person as and to the extent there provided, to the fullest extent permitted by law we do not assume any responsibility and will not accept any liability to any other person for any loss suffered by any such other person as a result of, arising out of, or in connection with this report or our statement, required by and given solely for the purposes of complying with paragraph 20.2 of Annex I to the PD Regulation consenting to its inclusion in the Prospectus Equivalent Document.
It is the responsibility of the directors of the Company to prepare the Pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 20.2 of Annex I of the PD Regulation.
It is our responsibility to form an opinion, as required by paragraph 7 of Annex II of the PD Regulation, as to the proper compilation of the Pro forma financial information and to report that opinion to you.
In providing this opinion we are not updating or refreshing any reports or opinions previously made by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Pro forma financial information, nor do we accept responsibility for such reports or opinions beyond that owed to those to whom those reports or opinions were addressed by us at the date of their issue.
