ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ACCOUNTING POLICIES	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 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, 2018 , and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , 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, 2017, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2018. 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. 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. The 6.50% senior secured notes due 2023 (senior secured notes) were carried at cost of $394.7 million at June 30, 2018 . The fair value of the senior secured notes at June 30, 2018 , as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $397.0 million . Cash dividends The Company declared cash dividends of $0.005 and $0.010 per share of common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . The second quarter 2018 cash dividend of $0.005 per share of common stock was paid on July 16, 2018, to shareholders of record on June 29, 2018. New accounting standards: Adoption of new accounting standards The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (the New Revenue Standard), effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle: • Identify the contract(s) with a customer • Identify the performance obligations • Determine the transaction price • Allocate the transaction price • Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met The Company compared its current revenue recognition policies to the requirements of the New Revenue Standard. Titan recognizes revenue when the performance obligations specified in the Company's contracts have been satisfied. Titan's contracts typically contain a single performance obligation that is fulfilled on the date of delivery based on shipping terms stipulated in the contract. As of January 1, 2018, none of the Company's contracts contained a financing option and Titan did not have any contract assets or liabilities. The table below presents the cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard on select accounts of Titan's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2018 (amounts in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2017 New Revenue Standard Adjustments Balance at January 1, 2018 Assets Inventories $ 339,836 $ (390 ) $ 339,446 Liabilities Other current liabilities 133,774 (513 ) 133,261 Equity Retained (deficit) earnings (44,022 ) 88 (43,934 ) Noncontrolling interests (10,845 ) 35 (10,810 ) Disaggregated Revenues The following table presents revenues disaggregated by the major markets Titan serves (amounts in thousands): Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net sales Agricultural $ 186,870 $ 172,923 $ 381,037 $ 353,439 Earthmoving/construction 198,963 150,970 387,696 286,589 Consumer 43,071 40,506 85,553 81,872 $ 428,904 $ 364,399 $ 854,286 $ 721,900 The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. This standard changed the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Statement of Operations. Under the previous guidance, net benefit cost was reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income, while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in a change in certain previously reported amounts, whereby the Company reclassed $0.4 million and $0.9 million of non-service cost from cost of sales to other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. See Note 11 - Employee Benefit Plans in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118." This ASU updates the income tax accounting in US GAAP to reflect the SEC's interpretive guidance released on December 22, 2017, when the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 TCJA) was enacted. See Note 15 for more information regarding the impact of the 2017 TCJA. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Disclosure requirements under Topic 718 remain unchanged. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements; no changes were made to the terms or conditions of share-based payments. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, with no resulting changes to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This update was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for the Company's operating leases. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interest Disclosure [Text Block]	REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST The Company, in partnership with One Equity Partners (OEP) and the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), owns all of the equity interests in Voltyre-Prom, a leading producer of agricultural and industrial tires in Volgograd, Russia. The Company is party to a shareholders' agreement with OEP and RDIF which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The agreement contains a settlement put option which is exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018, and may require Titan to purchase the equity interests from OEP and RDIF in Voltyre-Prom with cash or Titan common stock, at a value set by the agreement. The value set by the agreement is the greater of: the aggregate of the investment of the selling party and an amount representing an internal rate of return of 8%; or the last twelve months of EBITDA multiplied by 5.5 less net debt times the selling party's ownership percentage. As of June 30, 2018 , the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest held by OEP and RDIF was recorded at the aggregate of the investment of the selling party and an amount representing an internal rate of return of 8%. The redemption features of the settlement put option are not solely within the Company’s control and the noncontrolling interest is presented as a redeemable noncontrolling interest separately from total equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at the redemption value of the settlement put option. If the redemption value is greater than the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest, the increase in the redemption value is adjusted directly to retained earnings of the affected entity, or additional paid-in capital if there are no available retained earnings applicable to the redeemable noncontrolling interest. The following is a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands): 2018 2017 Balance at January 1 $ 113,193 $ 104,809 Loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (461 ) (190 ) Currency translation (2,207 ) 1,121 Redemption value adjustment 7,021 3,099 Balance at June 30 $ 117,546 $ 108,839 This obligation approximates the cost to the Company if all remaining equity interests in the consortium were purchased by the Company on June 30, 2018

Variable Interest Entity, Consolidated, Carrying Amount, Assets and Liabilities, Net [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Text Block]	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company holds a variable interest in three joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Two of the joint ventures operate distribution facilities which primarily distribute mining products. Titan is the 50% owner of one of these distribution facilities, which is located in Canada, and the 40% owner of the other such facility, which is located in Australia. The Company’s variable interest in these joint ventures relates to sales of Titan product to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. The third joint venture is the consortium which owns Voltyre-Prom. Titan owns 43% of the consortium owning Voltyre-Prom, which is subject to a shareholder agreement containing a settlement put option which may require Titan to purchase the remaining equity interests in the consortium. See Note 9 for additional information. The Company also holds a variable interest in five other entities for which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities provides specific manufacturing related services at the Company's Tennessee facility. Titan's variable interest in these entities relates to financial support to the entities through providing many of the assets used by these entities in their business. The Company owns no equity in these entities. As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (VIEs), the entities’ assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in “Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the entities’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2018 , and December 31, 2017 (amounts in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2017 Cash and cash equivalents $ 8,911 $ 10,621 Inventory 12,599 13,494 Other current assets 39,244 36,334 Property, plant and equipment, net 31,262 33,717 Other noncurrent assets 3,880 4,250 Total assets $ 95,896 $ 98,416 Current liabilities $ 36,749 $ 32,172 Noncurrent liabilities 7,613 8,291 Total liabilities $ 44,362 $ 40,463 All assets in the above table can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIE to which the respective assets relate. Liabilities are nonrecourse obligations. Amounts presented in the table above are adjusted for intercompany eliminations. The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated because Titan is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's involvement with these entities is in the form of direct equity interests and prepayments and purchases of materials. The maximum exposure to loss represents the loss of assets recognized by Titan relating to non-consolidated entities and amounts due to the non-consolidated assets. The assets and liabilities recognized in Titan's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to Titan's interest in these non-consolidated VIEs and the Company's maximum exposure to loss relating to non-consolidated VIEs as of the dates set forth below were as follows (amounts in thousands): June 30, December 31, 2017 Investments $ 4,034 $ 3,823 Other current assets 1,267 1,261 Total VIE assets 5,301 5,084 Accounts payable 1,972 1,413 Maximum exposure to loss $ 7,273 $ 6,497

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company recorded income tax expense of $1.7 million and $0.1 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million and $3.6 million , respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was 23% and (2)% for the quarters ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , and 4% and (26)% for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively. The Company’s 2018 income tax expense and rate differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax positions and U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses. In addition, there were non-deductible royalty expenses and statutorily required income adjustments made in certain foreign jurisdictions that negatively impacted the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 . The Company’s 2017 income tax expense and rate differed from the amount of income tax determined by applying the U.S. Federal income tax rate to pre-tax income primarily as a result of U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that incurred a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets created by current year projected losses. In addition, there were non-deductible royalty expenses and statutorily required income adjustments made in certain foreign jurisdictions that negatively impacted the tax rate for the period. During the second quarter of 2017, the IRS income tax audit for tax years 2010 through 2014 was settled, which did not result in any material change to the Company's income tax expense. The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets and assesses the need for a valuation allowance. The Company analyzes available positive and negative evidence to determine if a valuation allowance is needed based on the weight of the evidence. This objectively verifiable evidence primarily includes the past three years' profit and loss positions. This process requires management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that are uncertain in nature. The Company has established valuation allowances with respect to deferred tax assets in U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions. The 2017 TCJA was enacted on December 22, 2017, and includes a number of changes to the Internal Revenue Code including a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and a permanent reduction in the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate from 35% to 21%

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
LITIGATION	LITIGATION The Company is a party to routine legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of business. Due to the difficult nature of predicting unresolved and future legal claims, the Company cannot anticipate or predict the material adverse effect on its consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows as a result of efforts to comply with, or liabilities pertaining to, legal judgments. At June 30, 2018, two of Titan’s subsidiaries were involved in litigation concerning environmental laws and regulations. In June 2015, Titan Tire Corporation (Titan Tire) and Dico, Inc. (Dico) appealed a U.S. District Court order granting the U.S. motion for summary judgment that found Dico liable for violating the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA) and an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrative Order and awarded response costs, civil penalties, and punitive damages. In December 2015, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reversed the District Court’s summary judgment order with respect to “arranger” liability for Titan Tire and Dico under CERCLA and the imposition of punitive damages against Dico for violating the EPA Administrative Order, but affirmed the summary judgment order imposing civil penalties in the amount of $1.62 million against Dico for violating the EPA Administrative Order. The case was remanded to the District Court for a new trial on the remaining issues. The trial occurred in April 2017. On September 5, 2017, the District Court issued an order: (a) concluding Titan Tire and Dico arranged for the disposal of a hazardous substance in violation of 42 U.S.C. § 9607(a); (b) holding Titan Tire and Dico jointly and severally liable for $5.45 million in response costs previously incurred and reported by the United States relating to the alleged violation, including enforcement costs and attorney’s fees; and (c) awarding a declaratory judgment holding Titan Tire and Dico jointly and severally liable for all additional response costs previously incurred but not yet reported or to be incurred in the future, including enforcement costs and attorney’s fees. The District Court also held Dico liable for $5.45 million in punitive damages under 42 U.S.C. § 9607(c)(3) for violating a unilateral administrative order. The punitive damages award does not apply to Titan Tire. The Company accrued a contingent liability of $6.5 million , representing $5.45 million in costs incurred by the United States and $1.05 million of additional response costs, for this order in the quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment information	SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company has aggregated its operating units into reportable segments based on its three customer markets: agricultural, earthmoving/construction, and consumer. These segments are based on the information used by the Chief Executive Officer to make certain operating decisions, allocate portions of capital expenditures, and assess segment performance. Segment external sales, expenses, and income from operations are determined based on the results of operations for the operating units of the Company's manufacturing facilities. Expenses and income from operations are allocated to appropriate segments based on the sales of operating units of manufacturing facilities. Segment assets are generally determined on the basis of the tangible assets located at such operating units’ manufacturing facilities and the intangible assets associated with the acquisitions of such operating units. However, certain operating units’ property, plant and equipment balances are carried at the corporate level. Titan is organized primarily on the basis of products being included in three market segments, with each reportable segment including wheels, tires, wheel/tire assemblies, and undercarriage systems and components.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)

ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	6 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Fair value of financial instruments	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. The 6.50% senior secured notes due 2023 (senior secured notes) were carried at cost of $394.7 million at June 30, 2018 . The fair value of the senior secured notes at June 30, 2018 , as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $397.0 million
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Adoption of new accounting standards The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (the New Revenue Standard), effective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. ASC 606 prescribes that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle: • Identify the contract(s) with a customer • Identify the performance obligations • Determine the transaction price • Allocate the transaction price • Recognize revenue when the performance obligations are met The Company compared its current revenue recognition policies to the requirements of the New Revenue Standard. Titan recognizes revenue when the performance obligations specified in the Company's contracts have been satisfied. Titan's contracts typically contain a single performance obligation that is fulfilled on the date of delivery based on shipping terms stipulated in the contract. As of January 1, 2018, none of the Company's contracts contained a financing option and Titan did not have any contract assets or liabilities. The table below presents the cumulative effect of the adoption of the New Revenue Standard on select accounts of Titan's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at January 1, 2018 (amounts in thousands): Balance at December 31, 2017 New Revenue Standard Adjustments Balance at January 1, 2018 Assets Inventories $ 339,836 $ (390 ) $ 339,446 Liabilities Other current liabilities 133,774 (513 ) 133,261 Equity Retained (deficit) earnings (44,022 ) 88 (43,934 ) Noncontrolling interests (10,845 ) 35 (10,810 ) Disaggregated Revenues The following table presents revenues disaggregated by the major markets Titan serves (amounts in thousands): Three months ended Six months ended June 30, June 30, 2018 2017 2018 2017 Net sales Agricultural $ 186,870 $ 172,923 $ 381,037 $ 353,439 Earthmoving/construction 198,963 150,970 387,696 286,589 Consumer 43,071 40,506 85,553 81,872 $ 428,904 $ 364,399 $ 854,286 $ 721,900 The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2017-07, “Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" on January 1, 2018, using the retrospective transition method. This standard changed the presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost (net benefit cost) within the Statement of Operations. Under the previous guidance, net benefit cost was reported as an employee cost within operating income. The amendment requires the bifurcation of net benefit cost, with the service cost component to be presented with other employee compensation costs in operating income, while the other components will be reported separately outside of income from operations. The adoption of this accounting standard resulted in a change in certain previously reported amounts, whereby the Company reclassed $0.4 million and $0.9 million of non-service cost from cost of sales to other income on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. See Note 11 - Employee Benefit Plans in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q for further discussion. In March 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118." This ASU updates the income tax accounting in US GAAP to reflect the SEC's interpretive guidance released on December 22, 2017, when the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (2017 TCJA) was enacted. See Note 15 for more information regarding the impact of the 2017 TCJA. In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, "Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting." This update provides guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting. Disclosure requirements under Topic 718 remain unchanged. The Company adopted ASU 2017-09 effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements; no changes were made to the terms or conditions of share-based payments.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)." This update was issued to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The primary effect of adopting the new standard will be to record assets and obligations for the Company's operating leases. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-02.
