FINDLAY, Ohio (Oct. 28, 2014) — Hercules Tire & Rubber Co. has added the Ironman All Country A/T to its Ironman brand line-up of tires.

The All Country A/T delivers assured traction and confident handling on the road and off, Hercules said, and tackles mud, water and rocks while delivering comfortable highway driving.

The line features 17 SUV- and LT-designated sizes in 15-18 inch rim diameters.

“We continue to strategically define our Ironman brand line-up and the All Country A/T is an important addition to the offering,”

said Joshua Simpson, vice president of marketing for Hercules Tires. “The performance and rugged aesthetic of this tire, combined with the positioning, make this a very attractive offering.”

Features include:

• Large tread blocks and deep grooves to ensure enhanced off-road traction;
• Wide-angled lateral grooves and void ratio to enhance mud and water evacuation for all-surface traction performance;
• A buttress design to enhance traction in muddy conditions and guard against puncture;
• A tread compound that adds longevity and promotes enhanced wet traction; and
• M+S Rated.

Ironman — an associate brand of Findlay-based Hercules — offers a balance of quality and economy, according to the private brander. It includes passenger, light truck, medium truck, OTR, agricultural, specialty and industrial lines.
