Ironman tires provide the perfect balance of fuel efficiency and toughness. For example, the Ironman Gen2 I-28D is a great choice for the drive axle of your fleet, ensuring the best performance in various conditions. This model is suitable for regional and long haul applications, delivering better mileage and tread life.
Primarily, the solid closed shoulders of the Ironman Gen2 I-28D increase stability and promote even wear. They add extra lateral traction in bad weather conditions while boosting the cornering performance. Moving on, this model has an 8% wider tread, extending service life and maximizing surface contact. This design also evenly spreads load pressure across the ground, leading to increased weight capacity. The aggressive center blocks create lots of biting edges with the ground, thus improving traction and acceleration response. The blocks have zig zag sipes that combat heat buildup and offer a stronger grip in wet conditions.
In addition, the Ironman Gen2 I-28D features deep grooves that evacuate water from the patch. This reduces the chances of aquaplaning by dispersing the layer of water between the rubber and the road on rainy days. Moreover, the grooves have special stone ejectors at the base to protect the casing from rock drilling, promoting multiple retread cycles in the long run. What's more, the new rubber compound has better resistance to chips and cuts while lowering the rolling resistance. This maximizes fuel efficiency, resulting in lower operational costs. Finally, Ironman Gen2 I-28D is available in sizes with rim diameters of 22.5" and 24.5", fitting a wide range of truck models.
