CGS in the first six months of 2010 was $7,142 million, increasing $570 million, or 8.7%, from $6,572 million in the first six months of 2009. CGS increased due to higher tire volume of $595 million, higher costs in other tire-related businesses of $253 million, primarily in North American Tire, and foreign currency translation of $167 million, primarily in Asia Pacific Tire and Latin American Tire. CGS benefited from lower raw material costs of $229 million, decreased conversion costs of $143 million, savings from rationalization plans of approximately $64 million, and product mix-related manufacturing cost decreases of $3 million. The lower conversion costs were caused primarily by lower under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $138 million due to higher production volume partially offset by increased pension expenses of $23 million in North American Tire. The first six months of 2010 also included asset write-offs and accelerated depreciation of $9 million ($7 million after-tax or $0.03 per share), compared to $22 million ($22 million after-tax or $0.09 per share) in the 2009 period. CGS was 81.2% of sales in the first six months of 2010, compared to 87.9% in the first six months of 2009.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2010 was $16 million, improving $107 million from a loss of $91 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating income improved due primarily to lower conversion costs of $55 million, improved price and product mix of $36 million while raw material costs remained flat, higher operating income from third-party sales of chemical products and other tire-related businesses of $16 million, and higher tire volume of $14 million partially offset by increased general and product liability expense of $20 million. The lower conversion costs were driven by lower under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $17 million due to higher production volume and decreased pension expense of $21 million. Conversion costs and SAG expenses included savings from rationalization plans of $22 million and $1 million, respectively. The increase in general and product liability expense was due primarily to an unexpected, unfavorable judgment involving one claim in which an appellate court affirmed a trial court order that prohibited us from presenting evidence with respect to our liability for that claim.
Operating income in the first six months of 2010 was $2 million, improving $282 million from a loss of $280 million in the first six months of 2009. Operating income improved due primarily to decreased raw material costs of $133 million, improved price and product mix of $50 million, lower conversion costs of $62 million, higher operating income from third-party sales of chemical products and other tire-related businesses of $32 million, and higher tire volume of $20 million, which were partially offset by increased general and product liability expense of $21 million. The lower conversion costs were driven by lower under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $50 million due to higher production volume which were partially offset by increased pension expense of $23 million. Conversion costs and SAG expenses included savings from rationalization plans of $41 million and $4 million, respectively.
Operating income in the second quarter of 2010 was $73 million, increasing $88 million from a loss of $15 million in the second quarter of 2009. Operating income increased due primarily to lower conversion costs of $58 million, improved price and product mix of $23 million which more than offset increased raw materials of $3 million, and higher tire volume of $20 million. These were partially offset by an increase in SAG expenses of $11 million due primarily to increased advertising expenses of $7 million. Conversion costs included lower under-absorbed fixed overhead costs of approximately $36 million due to higher production volume. Conversion costs and SAG expenses included savings from rationalization plans of $5 million and $3 million, respectively.
