HUNTERSVILLE, N.C.—American Tire Distributors Inc. subsidiary Hercules Tire & Rubber Co. has launched an Ironman-brand entry-level, all-season highway touring tire for SUVs, CUVs and light trucks.
The Ironman All County HT will debut in 37 sizes covering numerous popular 15- to 20-inch rim diameters. Hercules is offering a 60-month limited protection policy covering free replacement for workmanship and materials, as well as road-hazard protection for up to two years or half of a tire's tread life.
Steven Liu, senior director, Hercules Tire, said the lineup bolsters Ironman's portfolio for the expanding SUV and CUV markets.
He said the tire has a "calculated pattern design, clever styling and next-generation tread compound (that) produce a consistent tire throughout its lifecycle with enhanced winter performance."
