Accounting Policies [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Business Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Titan or the Company) are leading manufacturers of wheels, tires, and undercarriage systems and components for off-highway vehicles used in the agricultural, earthmoving/construction, and consumer segments. Titan manufactures both wheels and tires for the majority of these market applications, allowing the Company to provide the value-added service of delivering complete wheel and tire assemblies. The Company offers a broad range of products that are manufactured to meet the specifications of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and/or the requirements of aftermarket customers. Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which Titan does not own a majority interest, but which Titan has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers short-term debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company's U.S. banks is not fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company had $60.6 million and $55.6 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company's cash in its foreign bank accounts is not fully insured. Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s inventories are valued under the first in, first out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Net realizable value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory. Fixed assets Property, plant, and equipment have been recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets: Years Building and improvements 25 - 40 Machinery and equipment 7 - 20 Tools, dies, and molds 2 - 9 Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property, plant, and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss on disposition is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest is capitalized on fixed asset projects which are constructed over a period of time. The amount of interest capitalized is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The interest rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. No interest was capitalized in 2019 or 2018. Interest capitalized was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017. Fair value of financial instruments The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, 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, issued on November 20, 2017 (senior secured notes) were carried at cost of $396.0 million at December 31, 2019 . The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2023 at December 31, 2019 , as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $337.0 million . Investments The Company had an equity method investment of $34.0 million in Wheels India Limited (Wheels India) as of December 31, 2019 , representing a 23.8% ownership. This equity method investment is included in other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of this investment based on the December 31, 2019 , market price was $48.2 million . In February 2020, the Company completed the sale of shares of Wheels India reducing the ownership percentage to 20% . See Note 31 for additional information. The Company assesses the carrying value of its equity method investments whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Investment write-downs, if necessary, are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. These write-downs, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company uses the cost method to account for investments in entities that are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. Under the cost method, investments are reported at cost in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of cost method investments are not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair values of the investments. Foreign currency translation The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated to United States currency. Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Revenue recognition The Company records sales revenue when products are shipped to customers and both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Provisions are established for sales returns and uncollectible accounts based on historical experience. Should trends change, adjustments would be necessary to the estimated provisions. Cost of sales Cost of sales is comprised primarily of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of the Company’s products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense, and overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into a finished product. Cost of sales also includes all purchasing, receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and related distribution costs. Selling, general, and administrative expense Selling, general, and administrative (SG&A) expense is comprised primarily of sales commissions, marketing expense, selling, and administrative wages, information system costs, legal fees, bank charges, professional fees, depreciation and amortization expense on non-manufacturing assets, and other administrative items. Research and development expense Research and development (R&D) expenses are expensed as incurred. R&D costs were $9.9 million , $11.1 million , and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Advertising Advertising expenses are included in SG&A expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $3.7 million , $3.1 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Warranty costs The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship on its products in all market segments. The provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period when such costs become probable and is based on past warranty experience. See Note 9 for additional information. Income taxes Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities. This method is based upon differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply in the years the temporary differences are expected to be settled or realized. Valuation allowances are recorded where it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing consolidated net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing adjusted consolidated net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of outstanding options under the Company’s stock compensation plans. Environmental liabilities Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that do not contribute to current or future revenue are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or remedial efforts are probable and can be reasonably estimated. Stock-based compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 23. Compensation expense for stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period at the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. The Company granted 80,000 ; and 89,200 stock options in 2018, and 2017, respectively; none were granted in 2019. The Company granted 355,201 and 376,500 restricted stock awards in 2019 and 2018, respectively; none were granted in 2017. Use of estimates The policies utilized by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements conform to United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP or GAAP) and require management to make estimates, assumptions, and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Adoption of new accounting standards On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (the New Lease Standard) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. Titan elected the modified retrospective with cumulative effect transition approach to adopt the New Lease Standard and thus did not restate its comparative periods in the year of transition. The Company adopted the practical expedients of the New Lease Standard which include (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which resulted in a net credit adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, of $0.6 million . The New Lease Standard did not materially impact the Company's operating results or liquidity. Further disclosures related to the New Lease Standard are included in Note 25, Leases. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" effective January 1, 2019. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the 2017 TCJA). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 TCJA and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company recorded a $4.9 million reclassification to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income and increase retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 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 which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the New Revenue Standard resulted in the recognition of an immaterial cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, and had an immaterial effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under the New Revenue Standard, which 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. 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. The impact of the Company's adoption of the New Revenue Standard on net sales was immaterial and the disaggregation of revenues, which is based on the major markets the Company serves, has not changed from how it is presented in Note 28, Segment and Geographical Information. The Company adopted 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 Condensed Consolidated 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 Company early-adopted ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," effective September 30, 2018, using the retrospective approach. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to apply the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. Costs to develop or obtain internal-use software that cannot be capitalized under Subtopic 350-40, such as training costs and certain data conversion costs, also cannot be capitalized for a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update require a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to determine whether an implementation activity relates to the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, or the post-implementation stage. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages will be expensed. As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $7.4 million of implementation costs for the year ended December 31, 2018, from selling, general and administration in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 TCJA was enacted. 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

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), owned 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 (Shareholders' Agreement) which was entered into in connection with the acquisition of Voltyre-Prom. The agreement contains a settlement put option which was exercisable during a six-month period beginning July 9, 2018. The settlement put option required 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 was 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. On November 14, 2018, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from RDIF. On February 11, 2019, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the "Agreement") with an affiliate of RDIF relating to the put option that was exercised by RDIF. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement closed on February 22, 2019. Under the terms of the Agreement, in full satisfaction of the settlement put option that was exercised by RDIF, Titan paid to RDIF $25 million in cash at the closing of the transaction, and agreed, subject to the completion of regulatory approval, to issue to RDIF in a private placement 4,032,259 restricted shares of Titan common stock. Due to pending regulatory approval, the issuance of the restricted shares of Titan common stock pursuant to the Agreement was not completed as of December 31, 2019. Immediately following the closing, RDIF continued to own the same interest in Voltyre-Prom, subject to the terms of the Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement. Titan has retained the right to buy back the Titan shares from RDIF for $25 million until February 12, 2022, the three-year anniversary of the signing of the Agreement, and, if the stock buyback is consummated within the first year of the closing under the Agreement at the time of such buyback, RDIF would be required to convey to Titan, based on current ownership, a 10.71% interest in Voltyre-Prom, resulting in RDIF reducing its interest in Voltyre-Prom from 35.7% to 25%. On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of exercise of the put option from OEP. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company made a payment to OEP in the amount of $16.0 million representing the majority of the interest on the amount due to OEP with respect to the put option. On July 30, 2019, Titan Luxembourg S.à r.l. (the “Titan Purchaser”), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a sale purchase agreement (the “OEP Agreement”) with subsidiaries of OEP, relating to the settlement put option under the Shareholders’ Agreement that was exercised by OEP. Pursuant to the terms of the OEP Agreement, on July 31, 2019, the Titan Purchaser paid to OEP $30.7 million in cash, which, together with the Titan Purchaser’s prior payment to OEP of $16.0 million during the second quarter of 2019, were made in full satisfaction of the settlement put option exercised by OEP under the Shareholders’ Agreement. Immediately following the closing, OEP ceased to have any ownership interests in, and the Titan Purchaser and RDIF owned 64.3% and 35.7% , respectively, of, Voltyre-Prom. As of December 31, 2019 , the value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest held by RDIF was recorded at $25 million , the value of the shares of restricted stock to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. The following is a reconciliation of redeemable noncontrolling interest as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands): Balance at January 1, 2018 $ 113,193 Loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (1,091 ) Currency translation (4,496 ) Redemption value adjustment 12,207 Balance at December 31, 2018 $ 119,813 Reclassification as a result of Agreement regarding put option (49,883 ) Payment of redeemable noncontrolling interest (46,722 ) Loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (819 ) Currency translation 683 Redemption value adjustment 1,928 Balance at December 31, 2019 $ 25,000 This obligation represents the value of the restricted shares of Titan common stock due to RDIF on December 31, 2019 , and is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is treated as mezzanine equity.

Variable Interest Entity, Consolidated, Carrying Amount, Assets and Liabilities, Net [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entity Disclosure [Text Block]	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company holds a variable interest in two joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. Both of the joint ventures operate distribution facilities that 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 interests in these two joint ventures relate to sales of Titan product to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. Titan also is party to a joint venture that is the consortium that owns Voltyre-Prom, of which Titan originally was a 43% owner. On July 31, 2019, Titan purchased additional shares resulting in Titan having a 64.3% ownership in the consortium and the joint venture became a majority owned entity and is no longer a variable interest entity. See Note 13 for additional information. The Company also held a variable interest in five other entities for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Each of these entities provided 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. In December 2019, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the supply agreement with three of these entities and the Company no longer holds a variable interest in them. The Company still holds a variable interest in the remaining two entities. As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (VIEs), the VIEs’ assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of, and for the year ended, December 31, 2019. The other equity holders’ interests are reflected in “Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and “Noncontrolling interests” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,190 $ 9,064 Inventory 1,070 12,987 Other current assets 1,027 38,533 Property, plant, and equipment, net 1,327 28,057 Other noncurrent assets — 2,971 Total assets $ 5,614 $ 91,612 Current liabilities 1,110 36,246 Noncurrent liabilities 579 6,353 Total liabilities $ 1,689 $ 42,599 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 a variable interest 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 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 were as follows at December 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 Investments $ 4,973 $ 3,985 Other current assets — 1,200 Total VIE assets 4,973 5,185 Accounts payable 2,006 2,350 Maximum exposure to loss $ 6,979 $ 7,535

For 2019 and 2017, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss and had a negative effective tax rate which represents tax expense in the consolidated financial statements. In jurisdictions where the Company operates its businesses, management analyzes the ability to utilize its deferred tax assets arising from losses in its cyclical business. The Company continues to record a valuation allowance in several jurisdictions, including the U.S., various U.S. states, Italy, Australia, and Luxembourg as these amounts remain more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would not be utilized. The Company recorded a valuation allowance of $13.9 million and $(0.1) million on the net deferred tax asset in 2019 and 2018, respectively. This amount is primarily related to net operating losses generated from operations in these certain countries. The Company is involved in various tax matters, for some of which the outcome is uncertain. The IRS issued a final audit report during 2017 for the tax years 2010 through 2014. The Company recorded a net expense of $0.5 million to reflect the final audit results. The Company believes that it has adequate tax reserves to address open tax matters acknowledging that the outcome and timing of these events are uncertain. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2019 and 2018, were as follows (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 Deferred tax assets: Net operating loss carryforwards $ 129,599 $ 121,804 Pension 5,026 5,718 Inventory 6,673 4,863 Warranty 4,004 4,376 Employee benefits and related costs 8,255 10,006 Prepaid royalties 4,092 4,780 Interest limitation 11,067 4,606 Lease liability 7,164 — Other 17,847 19,360 Deferred tax assets 193,727 175,513 Deferred tax liabilities: Fixed assets (21,846 ) (25,207 ) Intangible assets (3,136 ) (3,474 ) Lease assets (7,047 ) — Other (1,359 ) (1,820 ) Deferred tax liabilities (33,388 ) (30,501 ) Subtotal 160,339 145,012 Valuation allowance (164,680 ) (151,554 ) Net deferred tax liability $ (4,341 ) $ (6,542 ) As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, certain tax loss carryforwards of $129.6 million and $121.8 million were available with $3.4 million expiring between 2019 and 2024 and $126.2 million expiring after 2024. At December 31, 2019, a valuation allowance of $164.7 million has been established. The net change in the valuation allowance was $13.1 million and $3.3 million for 2019 and 2018, respectively. The majority of the valuation allowance is related to deferred tax assets in the U.S., Italy, Australia, and Luxembourg. The Company has $ 177.8 million of Federal net operating loss carryforward, a portion of which expires starting in 2034. Additionally, the Company has $ 261.6 million of state net operating losses and $ 309.2 million of foreign loss carryforwards. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes a number of changes in existing tax law impacting businesses, including a one-time deemed repatriation of cumulative undistributed foreign earnings and a permanent reduction in the U.S. federal statutory rate from 35% to 21% , effective on January 1, 2018. Under U.S. GAAP, changes in tax rates and tax law are accounted for in the period of enactment and deferred tax assets and liabilities are re-measured at the enacted tax rate. The re-measured U.S. net deferred asset was fully offset by a change in the valuation allowance. The Company’s net cumulative undistributed foreign earnings were a cumulative loss and therefore no additional income tax expense related to the one-time deemed repatriation toll charge was recorded in 2017. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the Company can repatriate future foreign earnings back to the U.S. when needed with minimal additional taxes other than state income and foreign withholding tax. The Company has not changed its indefinite reinvestment assertion in light of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and has not accrued any potential incremental taxes which could be incurred if any foreign earnings are repatriated. The Company has not calculated the potential foreign withholding taxes as the Company does not expect to repatriate those earnings. The Company or one of its subsidiaries files income tax returns in the U.S., Federal and State, and various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s major locations are in the U.S., Italy, Australia, Russia, and Brazil. The IRS issued a final audit report in 2017 for the 2010-2014 U.S. Federal tax returns and the Company adjusted its uncertain tax reserves. Italy has open tax years from 2014-2019. Russia has open tax years from 2016-2019. Australia has open tax years from 2015-2019 and Brazil has open tax years from 2013-2019. The Company has applied the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes” related to unrecognized tax benefits. At December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, the unrecognized tax benefits were $4.5 million , $8.9 million , and $11.4 million , respectively. As of December 31, 2019, $ 4.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits would have affected income tax expense if the tax benefits were recognized. The majority of the accrual in unrecognized tax benefits relates to potential state tax exposures. Although management cannot predict with any degree of certainty the timing of ultimate resolution of matters under review by various taxing jurisdictions, it is possible that the Company’s gross unrecognized tax benefits balance will decrease by approximately $3 million within the next twelve months. A reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits at December 31 were as follows (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 2017 Balance at January 1 $ 7,406 $ 9,365 $ 12,468 Increases to tax positions taken during the current year — 19 127 Increases to tax positions taken during the prior years 973 — 6,045 Decreases to tax positions taken during prior years (350 ) (1,336 ) (858 ) Decreases due to lapse of statutes of limitations (3,429 ) (637 ) (297 ) Settlements (506 ) — (8,095 ) Foreign exchange 3 (5 ) (25 ) Balance at December 31 $ 4,097 $ 7,406 $ 9,365 The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. The amount of interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits recorded in income tax expense was $(1.0) million , $(0.5) million , and $0.5 million at December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. The reconciliation of unrecognized tax benefits above does not include accrued interest and penalties of $1.4 million , $2.4 million , and $2.9 million , at December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS	EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Pension plans The Company has three frozen defined benefit pension plans covering certain employees or former employees of three U.S. subsidiaries. The Company also has pension plans covering certain employees of several foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s policy is to fund pension costs as required by law, which is consistent with the funding requirements of federal laws and regulations. Certain foreign subsidiaries maintain unfunded pension plans consistent with local practices and requirements. The Company’s recorded liability for pensions is based on a number of assumptions, including discount rates, rates of return on investments, mortality rates, and other factors. Certain of these assumptions are determined by the Company with the assistance of outside actuaries. Assumptions are based on past experience and anticipated future trends. These assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and revised when appropriate. The following table provides the change in benefit obligation, change in plan assets, funded status, and amounts recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet of the defined benefit pension plans as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 (amounts in thousands): Change in benefit obligation: 2019 2018 Benefit obligation at beginning of year $ 108,513 $ 119,736 Plan amendments (1,087 ) — Service cost 765 626 Interest cost 4,385 4,330 Actuarial (gain) loss 9,114 (5,404 ) Benefits paid (8,516 ) (9,376 ) Foreign currency translation 385 (1,399 ) Benefit obligation at end of year $ 113,559 $ 108,513 Change in plan assets: Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year $ 72,496 $ 83,036 Actual return on plan assets 15,446 (5,669 ) Employer contributions 1,943 4,634 Benefits paid (8,516 ) (9,376 ) Foreign currency translation 6 (129 ) Fair value of plan assets at end of year $ 81,375 $ 72,496 Unfunded status at end of year $ (32,184 ) $ (36,017 ) Amounts recognized in Consolidated Balance Sheet: Noncurrent assets $ 1,016 $ 930 Current liabilities (2,120 ) (1,885 ) Noncurrent liabilities (31,080 ) (35,062 ) Net amount recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet $ (32,184 ) $ (36,017 ) The pension benefit obligation included $93.2 million of pension benefit obligation for the three frozen plans in the U.S. and $20.4 million of pension benefit obligation for plans at foreign subsidiaries. The fair value of plan assets included $79.8 million of plan assets for the three frozen plans in the U.S. and $1.6 million of plan assets for foreign plans. Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss: 2019 2018 Unrecognized prior service cost $ 1,087 $ (71 ) Unrecognized net loss (38,183 ) (43,458 ) Deferred tax effect of unrecognized items 10,952 15,752 Net amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss $ (26,144 ) $ (27,777 ) The weighted-average assumptions used in the actuarial computation that derived the benefit obligations at December 31 were as follows: 2019 2018 Discount rate 3.2 % 4.3 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 6.9 % 6.9 % The following table provides the components of net periodic pension cost for the plans, settlement cost, and the assumptions used in the measurement of the Company’s benefit obligation for the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 (amounts in thousands): Components of net periodic benefit cost and other amounts recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) Net periodic benefit cost: 2019 2018 2017 Service cost $ 765 $ 626 $ 598 Interest cost 4,385 4,330 4,672 Assumed return on assets (4,737 ) (5,959 ) (5,472 ) Amortization of unrecognized prior service cost 49 137 137 Amortization of net unrecognized loss 3,238 2,784 2,696 Net periodic pension cost $ 3,700 $ 1,918 $ 2,631 Service cost is recorded as cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations while all other components are recorded in other income. The estimated net loss and prior service cost that will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into net periodic benefit cost over the next fiscal year are $2.9 million and $(0.1) million , respectively. The weighted-average assumptions used in the actuarial computation that derived net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 were as follows: 2019 2018 2017 Discount rate 5.0 % 5.3 % 5.8 % Expected long-term return on plan assets 6.9 % 7.4 % 7.4 % The allocation of the fair value of plan assets was as follows: Percentage of Plan Assets at December 31, Target Allocation Asset Category 2019 2018 2019 U.S. equities (a) 62 % 60 % 40% - 80% Fixed income 22 % 30 % 20% - 50% Cash and cash equivalents 7 % 6 % 0% - 20% International equities (a) 7 % 4 % 0% - 16% REITs 2 % — % 100 % 100 % (a) Total equities may not exceed 80% of total plan assets. The majority of the Company's foreign plans do not have plan assets. The foreign plans which have plan assets holds these plan assets in an insurance or money market fund. The fair value of the plan assets by asset categories consisted of the following as of the dates set forth below (amounts in thousands): Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2019 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds $ 5,453 $ 5,453 $ — $ — Common stock 33,675 33,675 — — Bonds and securities 4,592 4,592 — — Mutual and insurance funds 37,655 36,656 999 — Totals $ 81,375 $ 80,376 $ 999 $ — Assets measured at net asset value (a) — $ 81,375 Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2018 Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Money market funds $ 4,725 $ 4,725 $ — $ — Common stock 28,581 28,581 — — Bonds and securities 5,958 5,958 — — Mutual and insurance funds 1,871 773 1,098 — Totals $ 41,135 $ 40,037 $ 1,098 $ — Assets measured at net asset value (a) 31,361 $ 72,496 (a) Assets measured at net asset value consist of common / collective trusts. The Company invests in a diversified portfolio consisting of an array of asset classes in an attempt to maximize returns while minimizing risk. These asset classes include U.S. equities, fixed income, cash and cash equivalents, international equities and REITs. The investment objectives are to provide for the growth and preservation of plan assets on a long-term basis through investments in: investment grade securities that provide investment returns that meet or exceed the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index and investment grade fixed income securities that provide investment returns that meet or exceed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The U.S. equities asset category included the Company’s common stock in the amount of $0.6 million (approximately one percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2019, and $0.8 million (approximately one percent of total plan assets) at December 31, 2018. The fair value of money market funds, stock, bonds, U.S. government securities and mutual funds is determined based on valuation for identical instruments in active markets. The long-term rate of return for plan assets is determined using a weighted-average of long-term historical approximate returns on cash and cash equivalents, fixed income securities, and equity securities considering the anticipated investment allocation within the plans. The expected return on plan assets is anticipated to be 6.9% over the long-term. This rate assumes long-term historical returns of approximately 8.5% for equities and approximately 4.0% for fixed income securities using the plans’ target allocation percentages. Professional investment firms, none of which are Titan employees, manage the plan assets. Although the 2020 minimum pension funding calculations are not finalized, the Company estimates those funding requirements will be approximately $4.8 million . Projected benefit payments from the plans as of December 31, 2019 , are estimated as follows (amounts in thousands): 2020 $ 9,118 2021 8,510 2022 7,930 2023 7,968 2024 7,768 2025-2029 34,647 401(k)/Defined contribution plans The Company sponsors two 401(k) retirement savings plans in the U.S. and a number of defined contribution plans at foreign subsidiaries. One U.S. plan is for the benefit of substantially all employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining arrangement. Titan provides a 50% matching contribution in the form of the Company’s common stock on the first 6% of the employee’s contribution in this plan. The Company issued 266,121 shares, 54,517 shares and 49,242 shares of treasury stock in connection with this 401(k) plan during 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Expenses to the Company related to this common stock matching contribution were $1.2 million , $0.6 million , and $0.5 million for 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The other U.S. 401(k) plan is for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements and does not include a Company matching contribution. Expenses related to foreign defined contribution plans were $3.9 million , $4.1 million , and $3.8 million for 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

STOCK OPTION PLANS [Abstract]
STOCK OPTION PLANS	STOCK COMPENSATION The Company recorded stock compensation of $1.5 million , $1.1 million , and $1.5 million in 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Options to the Board of Directors vest immediately. All options outstanding at December 31, 2019 are scheduled to expire 10 years from the grant date. The restricted stock awards vest over a period of three years. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan The Company adopted the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan to provide stock compensation as a means of attracting and retaining qualified independent directors and employees for the Company. A total of 1.3 million shares are available for future issuance under the equity incentive plan at December 31, 2019. The exercise price of stock options may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The vesting and term of each option is set by the Board of Directors. The Company granted no stock options under this plan in 2019, 80,000 stock options under this plan in 2018, and 89,200 stock options under this plan in 2017. The Company granted 355,201 restricted stock awards under this plan in 2019 and 376,500 restricted stock awards under this plan in 2018. The Company did not grant any restricted stock awards under this plan in 2017. Stock Options The following is a summary of activity in stock options during the year ended December 31, 2019: Shares Subject to Option Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (in Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value (in thousands) Outstanding, December 31, 2018 888,688 $ 16.84 Granted — — Exercised — — Forfeited/Expired (26,950 ) (18.46 ) Outstanding, December 31, 2019 861,738 16.79 3.69 $ — Exercisable, December 31, 2019 861,738 16.79 3.69 $ — Additional Stock Option Information (all amounts in thousands, except for per share data): 2019 2018 2017 Weighted-average fair value per share of stock options granted $ — $ 5.85 $ 6.10 Grant date fair value of stock options vested — 468 544 No options were exercised in 2019, 2018 and 2017. The Company currently uses treasury shares to satisfy any stock option exercises. At December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company had 0.4 million and 0.8 million shares of treasury stock, respectively. Valuation Assumptions The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of its stock options. The determination of the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using option pricing models is affected by the Company’s stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include the Company’s expected stock price volatility over the expected term of the awards, actual and projected stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates, and expected dividends. The expected term of options represents the period of time over which options are expected to be outstanding and is estimated based on historical experience. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock calculated over the expected term of the option. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields in effect at the date of grant. Weighted average assumptions used for stock options issued in 2019, 2018, and 2017: 2019 2018 2017 Expected life (in years) 0 6.0 6.0 Expected volatility — % 50.7 % 53.8 % Expected dividends — % 0.2 % 0.1 % Risk-free interest rate — % 2.88 % 1.82 % Restricted Stock Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Unvested at December 31, 2018 376,500 9.23 Granted 355,201 3.03 Vested (122,430 ) 9.26 Forfeited/Expired (24,200 ) 7.72 Unvested at December 31, 2019 585,071 5.52 Pre-tax unrecognized compensation expense for unvested restricted stock was $2.4 million at December 31, 2019, and will be recognized as an expense over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years . The fair value of restricted stock vested, based on the stock's fair value on the vesting date, was $0.6 million , $0.3 million , and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

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 December 31, 2019 , 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. As of December 31, 2019 , the $6.5 million contingent liability remains outstanding. Titan Tire and Dico appealed the case to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 11, 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit affirmed the District Court’s September 5, 2017, order. Thereafter, Dico and Titan Tire filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which was denied in August 2019. As a result of the current judgment in favor of the United States, and pursuant to Iowa Code § 624.23, a judgment lien exists over Titan Tire’s real property in the State of Iowa. Titan Tire maintains a supersedeas bond in the amount of $6 million relating to the judgment. The United States has indicated that it does not currently intend to take steps to execute on this judgment lien in light of ongoing settlement discussions between the parties. However, there can be no assurance that the parties will settle this matter on terms acceptable to the parties.

Leases [Abstract]
LEASE COMMITMENTS	LEASES The Company leases certain buildings and equipment under both operating and finance leases. Certain lease agreements provide for renewal options, fair value purchase options, and payment of property taxes, maintenance, and insurance by the Company. Under ASC 842, the Company made an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components such as those previously stated from lease components and instead will treat the lease agreement as a single lease component for all asset classes. Operating right-of-use (ROU) assets represent the Company's right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent Titan's obligations to make lease payments arising from the lease. The majority of Titan's leases are operating leases. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As most of Titan's leases do not provide an implicit interest rate, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate (6.79%), based on the information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Amortization expense associated with finance leases is included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses, and interest expense associated with finance leases is included in interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Short-term operating leases, which have an initial term of twelve months or less, are not recorded on the balance sheet. Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows (amounts in thousands): Balance Sheet Classification December 31, 2019 Operating lease ROU assets Operating lease assets $ 23,914 Operating lease current liabilities Other current liabilities $ 6,729 Operating lease long-term liabilities Other long-term liabilities 17,360 Total operating lease liabilities $ 24,089 Finance lease, gross Property, plant & equipment, net $ 6,684 Finance lease accumulated depreciation Property, plant & equipment, net (2,194 ) Finance lease, net $ 4,490 Finance lease current liabilities Other current liabilities $ 1,110 Finance lease long-term liabilities Long-term debt 3,770 Total finance lease liabilities $ 4,880 At December 31, 2019 , maturity of lease liabilities were as follows (amounts in thousands): Operating Leases Finance Leases 2020 $ 8,244 $ 1,395 2021 6,465 1,339 2022 4,796 1,252 2023 3,383 999 2024 2,016 384 Thereafter 3,583 195 Total future minimum lease payments $ 28,487 $ 5,564 Less imputed interest 4,398 684 $ 24,089 $ 4,880 Weighted average remaining lease term (in years) 4.7 4.2 Supplemental cash flow information related to leases for year ended December 31, 2019 were as follows: operating cash flows from operating leases were $9.6 million and operating cash flows from finance leases were $0.3 million .

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHICAL 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. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies.” Segment external revenues, expenses, and income from operations are determined on the basis of the results of operations 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’ goodwill and property, plant, and equipment balances are carried at the corporate level. Titan is organized primarily on the basis of products being included in three marketing segments, with each reportable segment including wheels, tires, wheel/tire assemblies, and undercarriage systems and components. The table below presents information about certain operating results of segments as reviewed by the chief operating decision maker of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 , 2018 , and 2017 (amounts in thousands): 2019 2018 2017 Revenues from external customers Agricultural $ 652,558 $ 694,268 $ 690,238 Earthmoving/construction 648,753 741,733 608,894 Consumer 147,355 166,407 169,790 $ 1,448,666 $ 1,602,408 $ 1,468,922 Gross profit Agricultural $ 55,971 $ 94,217 $ 85,482 Earthmoving/construction 57,678 80,056 49,556 Consumer 15,355 23,993 25,273 $ 129,004 $ 198,266 $ 160,311 Income (loss) from operations Agricultural $ 10,991 $ 62,065 $ 50,188 Earthmoving/construction (1,892 ) 31,141 2,028 Consumer 1,849 11,994 11,463 Corporate & Unallocated (39,380 ) (62,956 ) (74,830 ) Loss from operations (28,432 ) 42,244 (11,151 ) Interest expense (33,137 ) (30,456 ) (30,229 ) Loss on senior note repurchase — — (18,646 ) Foreign exchange gain (loss) 3,999 (11,179 ) (1,958 ) Other income, net 9,526 19,198 9,108 Income (loss) before income taxes $ (48,044 ) $ 19,807 $ (52,876 ) Capital expenditures Agricultural $ 16,500 $ 15,770 $ 15,392 Earthmoving/construction 16,229 19,889 15,282 Consumer 3,685 3,334 2,453 Corporate & Unallocated — 7 (501 ) $ 36,414 $ 39,000 $ 32,626 Depreciation & amortization Agricultural $ 24,469 $ 26,299 $ 27,623 Earthmoving/construction 24,251 23,823 20,307 Consumer 5,508 5,129 5,559 Corporate & Unallocated 148 2,367 4,955 $ 54,376 $ 57,618 $ 58,444 Total assets Agricultural $ 423,955 $ 464,828 $ 444,783 Earthmoving/construction 496,988 543,927 537,855 Consumer 123,320 129,994 157,133 Corporate & Unallocated (a) 70,044 112,507 150,341 $ 1,114,307 $ 1,251,256 $ 1,290,112 (a) Unallocated assets included cash of approximately $9 million , $32 million , and $72 million at year-end 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2019
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of consolidation	Principles of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities in which Titan is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which Titan does not own a majority interest, but which Titan has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for using the equity method. Investments in other companies are carried at cost. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Cash equivalents	Cash and cash equivalents The Company considers short-term debt securities with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The cash in the Company's U.S. banks is not fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company had $60.6 million and $55.6 million of cash in foreign bank accounts at December 31, 2019 and 2018 , respectively. The Company's cash in its foreign bank accounts is not fully insured.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts	Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts The Company carries its accounts receivable at their face amounts less an allowance for doubtful accounts. An allowance for uncollectible receivables is recorded based upon known bad debt risks and past loss history. Actual collection experience may differ from the current estimate of net receivables.
Inventories	Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s inventories are valued under the first in, first out (FIFO) method or average cost method. Net realizable value is estimated based on current selling prices. Estimated provisions are established for slow-moving and obsolete inventory.
Fixed assets	Fixed assets Property, plant, and equipment have been recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives of the related assets: Years Building and improvements 25 - 40 Machinery and equipment 7 - 20 Tools, dies, and molds 2 - 9 Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When property, plant, and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are eliminated, and any gain or loss on disposition is included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Interest is capitalized on fixed asset projects which are constructed over a period of time. The amount of interest capitalized is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the average amount of accumulated expenditures for the asset during the period. The interest rate used is based on the rates applicable to borrowings outstanding during the period. No interest was capitalized in 2019 or 2018. Interest capitalized was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.
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, 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, issued on November 20, 2017 (senior secured notes) were carried at cost of $396.0 million at December 31, 2019 . The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2023 at December 31, 2019 , as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $337.0 million .
Equity Method Investments [Policy Text Block]	nvestments The Company had an equity method investment of $34.0 million in Wheels India Limited (Wheels India) as of December 31, 2019 , representing a 23.8% ownership. This equity method investment is included in other long-term assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The value of this investment based on the December 31, 2019 , market price was $48.2 million . In February 2020, the Company completed the sale of shares of Wheels India reducing the ownership percentage to 20% . See Note 31 for additional information. The Company assesses the carrying value of its equity method investments whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying values may not be recoverable. Investment write-downs, if necessary, are recognized in operating results when expected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset. These write-downs, if any, are measured as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over the discounted expected future cash flows or the estimated fair value of the asset. The Company uses the cost method to account for investments in entities that are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method. Under the cost method, investments are reported at cost in other long-term assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of cost method investments are not estimated if there are no identified events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair values of the investments.
Foreign currency translation	Foreign currency translation The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated to United States currency. Assets and liabilities are translated to United States dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense items are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity. Gains and losses that result from foreign currency transactions are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Revenue recognition	Revenue recognition The Company records sales revenue when products are shipped to customers and both title and the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred. Provisions are established for sales returns and uncollectible accounts based on historical experience. Should trends change, adjustments would be necessary to the estimated provisions.
Cost of sales	Cost of sales Cost of sales is comprised primarily of direct materials and supplies consumed in the manufacturing of the Company’s products, as well as manufacturing labor, depreciation expense, and overhead expense necessary to acquire and convert the purchased materials and supplies into a finished product. Cost of sales also includes all purchasing, receiving, inspection, internal transfers, and related distribution costs.
Selling, general and administrative expense	Selling, general, and administrative expense
Research and development expense	Research and development expense Research and development (R&D) expenses are expensed as incurred. R&D costs were $9.9 million , $11.1 million , and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively.
Advertising	Advertising Advertising expenses are included in SG&A expense and are expensed as incurred. Advertising costs were approximately $3.7 million , $3.1 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Warranty costs	Warranty costs The Company provides limited warranties on workmanship on its products in all market segments. The provision for estimated warranty costs is made in the period when such costs become probable and is based on past warranty experience. See Note 9 for additional information.
Income taxes	Income taxes Deferred income tax provisions are determined using the liability method to recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities. This method is based upon differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the respective tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that are expected to apply in the years the temporary differences are expected to be settled or realized. Valuation allowances are recorded where it is considered more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax benefits are recognized only for tax positions that are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by tax authorities.
Earnings per share	Earnings per share Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing consolidated net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing adjusted consolidated net earnings applicable to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted average number of potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares consist of outstanding options under the Company’s stock compensation plans.
Environmental liabilities	Environmental liabilities
Stock-based compensation	Stock-based compensation The Company has one stock-based compensation plan, which is described in Note 23. Compensation expense for stock-based compensation is recognized over the requisite service period at the estimated fair value of the award at the grant date. The Company granted 80,000 ; and 89,200 stock options in 2018, and 2017, respectively; none were granted in 2019. The Company granted 355,201 and 376,500 restricted stock awards in 2019 and 2018, respectively; none were granted in 2017.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	Adoption of new accounting standards On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" (the New Lease Standard) to increase transparency and comparability among entities by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about lease arrangements. Titan elected the modified retrospective with cumulative effect transition approach to adopt the New Lease Standard and thus did not restate its comparative periods in the year of transition. The Company adopted the practical expedients of the New Lease Standard which include (i) not reassessing whether expired or existing contracts contain leases, (ii) not reassessing the lease classification for any expired or existing leases, and (iii) not revaluing initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. The adoption of this standard resulted in the recognition of operating lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which resulted in a net credit adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, of $0.6 million . The New Lease Standard did not materially impact the Company's operating results or liquidity. Further disclosures related to the New Lease Standard are included in Note 25, Leases. The Company adopted ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income" effective January 1, 2019. The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the 2017 TCJA). Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the 2017 TCJA and improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. As a result of adopting this standard, the Company recorded a $4.9 million reclassification to decrease accumulated other comprehensive income and increase retained earnings as of January 1, 2019. 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 which requires the recognition of the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to opening retained earnings for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the New Revenue Standard resulted in the recognition of an immaterial cumulative adjustment to opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018, and had an immaterial effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018, are presented under the New Revenue Standard, which 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. 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. The impact of the Company's adoption of the New Revenue Standard on net sales was immaterial and the disaggregation of revenues, which is based on the major markets the Company serves, has not changed from how it is presented in Note 28, Segment and Geographical Information. The Company adopted 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 Condensed Consolidated 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 Company early-adopted ASU No. 2018-15, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract," effective September 30, 2018, using the retrospective approach. ASU 2018-15 requires a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to apply the guidance on internal-use software to determine which implementation costs to recognize as an asset and which costs to expense. Costs to develop or obtain internal-use software that cannot be capitalized under Subtopic 350-40, such as training costs and certain data conversion costs, also cannot be capitalized for a hosting arrangement that is a service contract. The amendments in this update require a customer in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to determine whether an implementation activity relates to the preliminary project stage, the application development stage, or the post-implementation stage. Costs for implementation activities in the application development stage will be capitalized depending on the nature of the costs, while costs incurred during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages will be expensed. As a result of the adoption of this accounting standard, the Company capitalized an aggregate of $7.4 million of implementation costs for the year ended December 31, 2018, from selling, general and administration in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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 TCJA was enacted. 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 condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards issued but not yet adopted In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans." The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
