Hercules expands H-901 all-steel LT offering

HERCULES_H-901Hercules Tire has added two new sizes to their Hercules H-901 highway all-steel commercial LT offering. The durable H-901 is now available in LT225/75R16/12 and LT245/75R16/12. In addition, new production has started on the original size, LT235/85R16/14.

The all-steel H-901 features super high tensile steel belts, a tread compound to heighten wet handling and braking, and a tread design that maximizes biting edges and road contact, and is often used for light truck commercial pickup and delivery applications, as well as commercial services such as cleaning.

“The H-901 was a huge success from the moment it was introduced. We’re excited to offer it not only in additional sizes, but also with added capacity,” said Jedd Emans, the vice president of marketing for Hercules Tires.
