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

Hercules 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.

Nestled in between a thick wooded forest and a beautiful 13-acre lake in Ohio’s Mahoning County is a small farm and homestead. It’s unassuming, really. The kind of place you might pass right by without noticing on your way from here to there.

A little over a century-and-a-half ago, it was the birthplace of the man who would fundamentally change American agriculture forever, but today, that small farm is home to test tracks and testing facilities designed to put tomorrow’s farm tires to the test. To push the limits of what’s possible, pioneering the latest technology that allows farm tires to go where they never have before. To stand strong in the fields and ride soft on the roads. To tread lightly over soil and roots, while translating ever-increasing horsepower to traction in the fields.
