ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
ACCOUNTING POLICIES	BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of Titan International, Inc. and its subsidiaries (Titan or the Company) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2021, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 4, 2021 (the 2020 Form 10-K). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include estimates and assumptions of management that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates. COVID-19 pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic continued to have an impact on the Company in the third quarter. The Company’s operations continued with additional sanitary and other protective health measures which have increased operating costs. While the business conditions improved during the third quarter of 2021, certain geographies (particularly Australia, Europe and Latin America) continue to remain significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic including new strains of the virus. Further, global supply chains are experiencing significant constraints as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, including availability and pricing of raw materials, transportation and labor. The current constraints on the global supply chains are adding further complexity in the accelerated pace of recovery and improvement to growth expectations in the near term.We expect that the Company's operations will continue to be impacted by the pandemic, though the nature and extent of the impact will depend on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the length of time it takes for more normal economic and operating conditions to resume, additional governmental actions that may be taken and/or extensions of time for restrictions that have been imposed to date and numerous other uncertainties. Fair value of financial instruments The Company records all financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accruals, and notes payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short term or stated rates. Investments in marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value. Our 7.00% senior secured notes due 2028 (the senior secured notes due 2028) were carried at a cost of $394.3 million at September 30, 2021. The fair value of the senior secured notes due 2028 at September 30, 2021, as obtained through an independent pricing source, was approximately $421.5 million. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements to conform to classifications used in the current year. These reclassifications had no impact on net loss, shareholders’ equity or cash flows as previously reported. Adoption of new accounting standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 $25 million in cash to RDIF at the closing of the transaction, and agreed, subject to the completion of regulatory approval, to issue 4,032,259 shares of restricted Titan common stock to RDIF in a private placement. Due to pending regulatory approval, the issuance of the shares of restricted Titan common stock pursuant to the Agreement was not completed as of September 30, 2021 and the shares remain in an escrow account. 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. If the escrowed shares are not released to RDIF by December 31, 2021, then Titan and RDIF may seek alternative settlement terms, which could include the payment by Titan to RDIF of $25 million in cash (which is the approximate value of the escrowed shares when issued in February 2019) and return the escrowed shares to Titan. On January 8, 2019, the Company received notification of the exercise of the put option from OEP and made full satisfaction of the settlement of the put option exercised by OEP on July 31, 2019. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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. This obligation represents the value of the restricted common stock due to RDIF on September 30, 2021, and is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets in redeemable noncontrolling interest, which is treated as mezzanine equity.

Certain lease agreements provide for renewal options, fair value purchase options, and payment of property taxes, maintenance, and insurance by the Company. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 "Leases," 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 (7.27%), 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Variable Interest Entity, Measure of Activity [Abstract]
Variable Interest Entities Disclosure [Text Block]	VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES The Company holds a variable interest in two joint ventures for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. One of these joint ventures operate distribution facilities that primarily distribute mining products. Titan is the 50% owner of the distribution facility located in Canada. Titan is also a 50% owner of a manufacturer of undercarriage components and complete track systems for earthmoving machines in India. The Company’s variable interests in these joint ventures relate to sales of Titan products to these entities, consigned inventory, and working capital loans. As the primary beneficiary of these variable interest entities (VIEs), the VIEs’ assets, liabilities, and results of operations are included in the Company’s condensed 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 Company also held a variable interest in three other entities for which Titan was the primary beneficiary. Two 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 March 2020, the Company delivered a notice of termination of the supply agreement with these entities and the Company no longer holds a variable interest in them. Titan was also a 40% owner in a Australian distribution facility, which primarily distributed mining products. Effective during the second quarter of 2021, the Company is no longer an owner of the facility located in Australia. The following table summarizes the carrying amount of the VIEs’ assets and liabilities included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets: September 30, December 31, 2020 Cash and cash equivalents $ 826 $ 1,585 Inventory 3,511 1,751 Other current assets 3,772 4,276 Property, plant and equipment, net 3,438 2,656 Other non-current assets 664 1,671 Total assets $ 12,211 $ 11,939 Current liabilities $ 1,654 $ 1,152 Other long-term liabilities 682 2,591 Total liabilities $ 2,336 $ 3,743 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 that 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 related to purchases of materials. The maximum exposure to loss as reflected in the table below represents the loss of assets recognized by Titan relating to non-consolidated entities and amounts due to the non-consolidated assets.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The Company recorded income tax expense of $5.3 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded income tax expense of $9.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The Company's effective income tax rate was 33.1% and (2.6)% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 31.5% and (5.5)% for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. For the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the income tax expense for each period differed due to an overall pre-tax income increase which resulted in the significant fluctuation in the effective tax rate. The year-to-date increase in income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is due to improved profitability in foreign jurisdictions. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company reversed unrecognized tax benefit accruals of $0.7 million and $3.7 million, related to the expiration of statute of limitations on previously recorded tax contingencies. The Company’s 2021 and 2020 income tax expense and rates 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 and partially offset by a reduction of the liability for unrecognized tax positions. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. 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 the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions and continues to monitor and assess potential valuation allowances in all its jurisdictions. On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government passed the CARES Act (the CARES Act), which provides tax relief to assist companies dealing with the effects of the novel strain of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The CARES Act did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial position or results of operations, except for the deferral of Social Security payroll taxes, which benefited the Company's operating cash flows during calendar year 2020. On December 27, 2020 the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (the Appropriations Act) was signed into law. The

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. In June 2015, Titan Tire Corporation (Titan Tire) and Dico, Inc. (Dico) appealed an order from the U.S. District Court for the South District of Iowa granting the federal government’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 U.S. 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. 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. Following settlement negotiations with the U.S. federal government and the City of Des Moines, an agreement was reached in September 2020 which has been reduced to a Consent Decree that was executed by all parties on February 1, 2021. The Consent Decree prescribes total cash payments by Titan Tire to the federal government in the amount of $11.5 million, with $9.0 million due and payable within 30 days of the settlement becoming final, $1.5 million (plus interest at a rate of 2.22% per annum) due and payable within one year of the settlement becoming final and $1.0 million (plus interest at a rate of 2.22% per annum) due and payable within two years of the settlement becoming final. The Company paid $11.5 million, including accrued interest, to the federal government on February 25, 2021. The remaining amounts of $1.6 million and $1.2, including accrued interest, are accounted for within the Company's other accrued liabilities and other long-term liabilities line items, respectively, within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2021. On May 27, 2021, the Company transferred ownership of the Dico land to the City of Des Moines, in accordance with the agreement.

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. Each reportable segment includes wheels, tires, wheel/tire assemblies, and undercarriage systems and components. 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. 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. The table below presents information about certain operating results, separated by market segments, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 (amounts in thousands): Three months ended Nine months ended September 30, September 30, 2021 2020 2021 2020 Net sales Agricultural $ 244,373 $ 153,067 $ 684,636 $ 473,272 Earthmoving/construction 168,408 123,227 509,930 372,606 Consumer 37,601 28,478 97,973 86,527 $ 450,382 $ 304,772 $ 1,292,539 $ 932,405 Gross profit Agricultural $ 33,214 $ 16,191 $ 98,294 $ 45,830 Earthmoving/construction 21,263 12,409 63,333 34,777 Consumer 5,815 2,717 13,400 7,821 $ 60,292 $ 31,317 $ 175,027 $ 88,428 Income (loss) from operations Agricultural $ 18,156 $ 3,091 $ 54,228 $ 11,958 Earthmoving/construction 7,913 656 20,950 (5,161) Consumer 3,519 (88) 7,067 912 Corporate & Unallocated (6,688) (10,467) (21,395) (27,221) Income (loss) from operations 22,900 (6,808) 60,850 (19,512) Interest expense (7,818) (7,251) (23,939) (23,076) Loss on senior note repurchase — — (16,020) — Foreign exchange gain (loss) 416 (1,336) 9,125 (9,742) Other income 648 2,283 1,512 9,111 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 16,146 $ (13,112) $ 31,528 $ (43,219) Assets by segment were as follows as of the dates set forth below (amounts in thousands): September 30, December 31, Total assets Agricultural $ 494,117 $ 420,993 Earthmoving/construction 489,076 473,873 Consumer 142,093 114,993 Corporate & Unallocated 18,973 22,025 $ 1,144,259 $ 1,031,884

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	Adoption of new accounting standards In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, as part of its simplification initiative to reduce the cost and complexity in accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. ASU 2019-12 also amends other aspects of the guidance to help simplify and promote consistent application of GAAP. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
