Hercules Tire announced two new Ironman brand I-Series medium truck tires for the Canadian market in direct response to dealer demand. Addressing the need for severe service and winter driving applications, the I-302 and I-933 are now available in Canada exclusively through National Tire Distributors (NTD).

“The Canadian market has very specific needs due to harsh winters and the industries prospering in the country. Our dealers asked for quality tires positioned at an entry-level price point and Ironman was a natural answer to address their needs,” said Jedd Emans, vice president marketing, Hercules Tire.

The I-302 Deep Drive tire is designed for demanding applications such as logging and mining where on- and off-road environments demand maximum durability and where traction is a necessity. The I-302 is available in sizes 11R22.5/16 148/145J and 11R24.5/16 149/146J.

Additional features of the Ironman I-302 Deep Drive tire include:

Large tread blocks and 32/32nds tread depth for performance and durability

Strong casing and specially formulated compound that resists cuts and chips

The I-933 Winter Drive tire features an open shoulder design that evacuates precipitation without sacrificing traction or performance. Sizes available include 11R22.5/16 148/145L and 11R24.5/16 149/146L.

The Ironman I-933 carries a three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) designation and also offers:

Biting edges for traction on slippery road surfaces

Liberal siping to enhance grip in both wet and dry conditions

Specially formulated compound that balances excellent tread life and good mileage
