Two Hercules H-Series tires earn SmartWay verification

Hercules tires earn SmartWay verification

The Hercules H-704 EcoFT premium long haul closed shoulder deep drive tire and the Hercules H-902 EcoFT highway all-position tire recently received EPA SmartWay verification for low rolling resistance.

“Our goal is always to heighten the opportunity for sales and profitability for our customers. Having a robust offering of SmartWay verified tires is one key way that we can do that, so we’re pleased to have the H-704 EcoFT and H-902 EcoFT included in the EPA’s SmartWay program,” said Pat Tripp, director of TBR product and purchasing for Hercules Tire.

The heavy-duty H-704 EcoFT tire is available in 14- and 16-ply sizes and features a 30/32-in. tread and a solid shoulder to resist irregular wear, according to Hercules. The regional all-position H-902 EcoFT features a five rib design and is also available in 14- and 16-ply options.

Hercules noted that both the H-704 EcoFT and H-902 EcoFT are produced with Hercules’ EcoFT compound to promote low rolling resistance.
