Hercules tire earns SmartWay verification
The Ironman I-370 EcoFT open shoulder drive tire from Hercules Tires is now SmartWay verified for low rolling resistance, as part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay technology program.
Characterized by a deep tread that delivers long mileage and resists irregular wear, the company says the I-370 also features siped tread blocks for traction in almost any weather condition.
“Many of our customers have not previously enjoyed access to such an aggressive open shoulder drive pattern in a premier brand,” says Pat Tripp, director of TBR product and purchasing for Hercules Tires. “So being able to offer them not only the I-370 EcoFT pattern, but a SmartWay verified I-370 EcoFT, is a significant step.”
The Ironman I-370 EcoFT is part of the full Ironman I-Series line-up of medium truck tires and is available in the following sizes: 11R22.5/16 148/145L; 11R24.5/16 149/146L; 295/75R22.5/14 144/141L; and 285/75R24.5/14 144/141L.
