Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES	Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Titan or the Company) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 (the 2020 Form 10-K). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on the Company in the second quarter. The Company’s operations continued with additional sanitary and other protective health measures which have increased operating costs. While the business conditions improved during the second quarter of 2021, certain geographies (particularly Australia, Europe and Latin America) continue to remain significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic including new strains of the virus. We expect that the Company's operations will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, though the nature and extent of the impact will depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for more normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date and numerous other uncertainties. Fair value of financial instruments The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals, and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. Our 7.00% senior secured notes due 2028 (the senior secured notes due 2028) were carried at a cost of $394.2 million at June 30, 2021. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2028 at June 30, 2021, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $422.0 million. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss, shareholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported. Adoption of new accounting standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
