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.
