Hercules Ready to Meet Demand for Ironman All Country M/T

ImanAllCountryMT copyHercules Tire has increased production of its Ironman All Country M/T off-road tire, which it introduced at the 2014 SEMA Show/Global Tire Expo. All sizes of the tire will be available in the first quarter of 2016.

“We introduced the Ironman All Country M/T at SEMA 2014 to great reception, and in the past year we have been thrilled about the persistent demand for the product line,” said Jedd Emans, vice president of marketing for Hercules Tires. “We released the All Country M/T to provide an off-road tire that combined performance, aesthetic appeal and affordability, and we have ramped up production of all sizes to meet consumer demand.”

The tire features: a groove design that enhances durability by protecting against stone drilling and puncture; shoulder blocks that easily shovel away mud, silt and sand and provide side-biting traction on off-road surfaces; a staggered buttress design to increase off-road capability and guard against high sidewall cuts and abrasions; and a void ratio that effectively promotes self-cleaning capability in muddy conditions.

The Ironman All Country M/T is available in 16 sizes ranging from 15- to 20-inch wheel diameters. A studdable tread delivers extra “bite” in severe weather applications and select sizes have a 3-ply sidewall to protect against cutting and tearing in off-road situations, Hercules added.
