The Hercules H-702 is a heavy duty, commercial grade tire designed primarily for medium to large trucks and buses. It is commonly used for long haul and regional applications due to its strength and performance features. It also goes on the drive axle.
Firstly, the closed shoulders ensure even contact with the road, preventing irregular tread wear that might occur with open shoulder designs. This feature also reduces road noise, creating a quieter ride, which is valuable for long haul drivers. Then, the strong sidewalls are capable of supporting up to 7,160 lbs per single tire, depending on the size. They also ensure that the Hercules H-702 maintains its shape under the weight of the vehicle, which is crucial for control and safety. Additionally, thick sidewalls reduce the chances of blowouts, giving drivers peace of mind on the road. Equally important, the smart sipe placement improves flexibility in key areas of the tread without weakening the overall tire structure, balancing strength, and performance. They also improve gripping power when braking and accelerating.
Secondly, the special tread pattern focuses on providing a balance of traction, control, and smooth rolling. It allows the Hercules H-702 to have better movement in different situations. Going on, the resistant rubber compound withstands extreme conditions, including high heat, heavy loads, and tricky surfaces. This material also resists cracking, chipping, and punctures, making it suitable for diverse terrains. And, there are deep channels that improve self cleaning, allowing the Hercules H-702 to shed mud or debris, which is especially useful in off road or construction settings. This prevents sliding and increases safety. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in both 22.5'' and 22.4'' rim diameter options.
