SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed on October 24, 2005 by a group including, but not limited to, Maurice M. Taylor, Jr. (the “Original Statement”), relates to the common stock, no par value per share (the “Common Stock”) of Titan International, Inc., an Illinois corporation (the “Company”).

Item 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER

There are no material changes to this Item with respect to Mr. Taylor.

Item 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

There are no material changes to this Item with respect to Mr. Taylor.

Item 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

The following information supplements and amends this Item of the Original Statement with respect to Mr. Taylor:

Mr. Taylor is filing this Amendment because, since the date of the Original Statement, he and his wife have sold more than one percent of the shares of Common Stock beneficially held by Mr. Taylor.

Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The following information supplements and amends this Item of the Original Statement with respect to Mr. Taylor:

On November 8, 9 and 10, 2005, Mr. Taylor and his wife sold shares of Common Stock on the open market for estate planning purposes. Mr. Taylor continues to expect to participate in the acquiring entity with respect to the proposed transaction discussed in Item 4 of the Original Statement and, in connection therewith, to roll over a portion of his shares of Common Stock into the acquiring entity. However, Mr. Taylor may sell or purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time in the future and may change his plans with respect to any of the foregoing in the future. Mr. Taylor’s sale of shares was a personal matter for estate planning purposes and has no bearing on, or relationship to, whether or not the transaction discussed in Item 4 of the Original Statement will or will not occur.

Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

The following information supplements and amends this Item of the Original Statement with respect to Mr. Taylor:

As a result of the foregoing sales, Mr. Taylor beneficially owns 1,410,676 shares of Common Stock (including 229,010 shares issuable upon exercise of presently exercisable stock options or options exercisable within the next 60 days), which includes 551,600 shares directly held jointly by Mr. Taylor and his wife as to which they share voting and dispositive power, 809,076 shares directly held by Mr. Taylor as to which he has sole voting and dispositive power, and 50,000 shares held by the Maurice and Michelle Taylor Foundation (which is a charitable/educational foundation) with which Mr. Taylor shares voting and dispositive power.
