Hercules Tire unveiled the new Hercules H-704 premium closed shoulder deep drive tire at this week’s SEMA Show/Global Tire Expo. Designed to handle demanding long-haul applications, the H-704 offers a heavy-duty all-steel casing, a 30/32 inch tread and a solid shoulder to resist irregular wear, the tiremaker said.
“Our H-Series medium truck offering has gained overwhelming acceptance from our customers,” said Joshua Simpson, vice president of marketing for Hercules Tire. “Naturally, we want it to be their go to line for all of their customers’ needs, so we are taking steps to make the H-Series lineup more robust while still being practical.”
According to Hercules, the H-704 features extra deep tread for long original tread life; a solid shoulder for stability and resistance to irregular wear; aggressive lugs for exceptional traction; and wide grooves to help prevent stone trapping.
Available in six 14- and 16-ply sizes, the Hercules H-704 is produced with Hercules’ EcoFT compound to promote low rolling resistance and is pending SmartWay verification, the tiremaker added.
