HUNTERSVILLE, N.C.—Hercules Tire & Rubber Co. has introduced the Ironman All Country MT-X, an all-season mud-terrain tire featuring an aggressive tread design for off-road traction and on-road performance.
The All Country MT-X builds on the legacy of its predecessor, the All Country M/T, which launched in 2012, the company said. The new All Country MT-X tires will be available to order in December with a rolling launch through the first quarter of 2025.
"We are excited to introduce the All Country MT-X, which has been dialed up for extreme off-roading, balanced on-road performance and an even bolder design than it's well-known and loved predecessor," Steven Liu, vice president of product development for the Ironman Tires brand, said.
"The All Country MT-X delivers the ultimate value to our dealer partners as the go-to recommendation that provides aesthetic appeal, ride, handling, and traction without the hefty price tag."
The Ironman All Country MT-X features include:
- Next-generation all-terrain compound to enhance off-road traction and braking performance, as well as improve treadwear, durability and tear resistance;
- Hook-shaped center tread blocks and interlocking tread design elements to create a bold, modern aesthetic with improved off-road traction;
- Optimized contour shape with a square profile and wide tread width to improve handling and stability on rugged surfaces;
- Aggressive buttress and unique pattern for cosmetic appeal and functionality with a self-cleaning design to eject mud and prevent stone retention and drilling;
- Over-the-shoulder blocks and buttress to combine functionality and a robust appearance, enhancing traction in extreme terrain and maintaining grip on turns; and
- Variable deep siping, combined with a crisscross groove design, to create biting edges for improved grip in snow, mud and on slippery rocks, and aids in resisting hydroplaning.
The All Country MT-X will be available in 22 sizes covering 15- to 22-inch rim diameters. The lineup offers a three-ply sidewall and is available in Load Range E and F with both a raised white letter and raised black letter sidewall option.
