Designed specifically for use in harsh conditions, the studdable Polar Trax WPS was engineered to deliver a smooth, quiet and – above all else – secure ride.

 

 

Features and benefits include:

  • A saw-tooth tread block pattern that creates maximum biting grip in snow and ice;
  • Directional tread design with V-shaped lateral grooves, which enhance snow acceleration and promote active water evacuation;
  • A center rib design featuring dense siping for added traction;
  • Silica compound for dependable snow and ice performance, even in extreme temperatures;
  • Road hazard protection offered through National Tire Distributors (NTD).

The Ironman Polar Trax WPS is only available in Canada through NTD. Complete specifications can be found at www.herculestire.com.

If you could boil this year's Continental Tire GOLD member meeting into one takeaway, it's that the tire manufacturer is putting a whole lot of effort into listening and responding to its dealer base. Continental doesn't own company stores, so building a strong value proposition around the company's brands and products with its distributors and retailers is the most effective path to success. To maximize the mutual benefits of this partnership, Continental leadership says acting on the will of its dealer base – whether that's about product, programs, distribution, or anything else – is paramount.
