Hercules Expands Roadtour 855 SPE Sizes

Hercules Tire & Rubber Co. announced three additional sizes for their all season Roadtour 855 SPE tire.

Hercules Tire & Rubber Co. announced three additional sizes for their all season Roadtour 855 SPE tire.

“The Roadtour 855 SPE is the premier tire in our Hercules Roadtour Series – and for good reason. This premium touring tire mixes equal parts sophisticated design, high-quality materials and innovative technologies,” said Jedd Emans, vice president of marketing for Hercules. “We’re proud to be able to expand the size offering for this exceptional tire and continue to provide drivers with extraordinary value.”

The new size additions for summer 2017 include:

215/45R17XL 91V

225/45R17 91H

245/50R20 102H

Launching in spring 2016, a solid shoulder with offset grooves also helps increase stability and reduces noise, while 3-D siping increases the amount of biting edges to improve grip on wet roads and full depth siping provides lasting traction, Hercules said.

The new Roadtour 855 SPE sizes are now available in the U.S. and Canada. Additional information on the Hercules Roadtour 855 SPE and the entire Roadtour Series is available at herculestire.com/roadtourseries.
