Ironman Tires has added four commercial vehicle tires to its I-Series Gen 2 portfolio. The new series features a completely upgraded, full line of innovative and cost-efficient tires, designed to meet the demands of today’s evolving trucking industry.

Ironman is adding the I-31M, I-42W, I-28D and the I-52A to its I-Series Gen 2 portfolio, joining the I-19A, I-37D, I-48T and I-61S that were introduced last August.

The Ironman brand is one of three owned by Hercules Tire and Rubber Company. HTR is a subsidiary of American Tire Distributors, one of the largest independent suppliers of tires in the North American replacement tire market.

I-28D: Regional/Long-Haul Drive Tire

  • Crafted with advanced compounds to minimize rolling resistance, boost fuel efficiency, with improved durability, traction and longevity.

  • Deeper 28/32 tread depth and wider contact patch improve traction and enhance vehicle stability. Zig-zag sipes and grooves improve traction in adverse weather conditions. Solid closed shoulder ensures rigidity and stability for long-haul and regional driving.

I-31M: All-Position Tire for On-/Off-Highway

  • Designed for superior traction and dependability with deeper 22/32 tread depth and advanced heat-resistant compound delivering a 10% increase in mileage performance.

  • Stone ejectors protect the casing from stone penetration and a curb guard in the sidewall adds protection against impacts. A jagged shoulder reduces heat buildup and boosts traction in various off-road scenarios.

I-42W: Wide-Base All-Position Tire for Heavy Loads On- and Off-Highway

  • Deep treads, broad width, and large block pattern increase mileage in mixed-service applications. Enhanced compound delivers a 10% boost in mileage and better cut-and-chip resistance.

  • Optimal tire bars and semi-open shoulder design enhance drainage and traction in off-road situations. A curb guard shields the sidewall from impacts and damage.

I-52A: Steer/All-Position Tire for High-Scrub Regional Environments

  • Engineered to endure the demands of stop-and-start regional routes with increased fuel economy. Deep 22/32 tread depth deliver maximum mileage and 5% wider tread for prolonged, even wear.

  • Wavy outer grooves enhance tear resistance while stone ejectors shield the belts from penetration.

Ironman Tires offers a six-year extended protection warranty, which covers defects in workmanship and materials and includes a casing allowance for two retreads.

“Ironman I-Series Gen 2 tires are designed to maximize customer satisfaction and minimize returns. The I-Series Gen 2 truck tire lineup marks a significant upgrade that represents the culmination of years of research and development that delivers confident performance and value to our customers,” said Marshall Gillespie, director, proprietary brand commercial merchandising for Ironman Tires.

“Ironman makes it fast and easy for our customers — providing reliable, high-quality tires they can trust without breaking the bank,” Gillespie said.

“We’re proud to offer a product line that our customers trust to meet their varying needs.”
