The Hercules H-902 is a great all season, all position tire that has commercial applications. It goes on trucks and buses, delivering excellent performance and balance. While an all position tire, this model is recommended for the steer and trailer axles.
Firstly, the closed shoulders distribute weight evenly, improving power and reducing wear over time. Closed shoulders are especially useful for vehicles that spend most of their time on highways because they help maintain a smoother ride and reduce noise. Then, the modern grooves play a critical role in draining water away from the Hercules H-902’s surface, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. By improving water evacuation, they ensure the tire stays in contact with the road, even during heavy rain. Adding to this, the thick sidewalls provide added strength to handle the weight of heavy cargo or passengers. They also protect the Hercules H-902 from damage caused by sharp objects, potholes, or curb impacts.
Secondly, the resistant rubber compound handles hot and cold temperatures, heavy loads, and constant use without wearing out quickly. This type of rubber is designed to resist cuts, abrasions, and cracks, which helps the tire last longer. Moving on, the modern design helps reduce rolling resistance, meaning less fuel usage for the vehicle. It also absorbs shocks, providing a quieter and cozier ride for drivers and passengers. Equally important, the lateral sipes on the shoulders improve traction by creating additional edges that grip the road. When positioned on the shoulders, they help the Hercules H-902 maintain control during cornering or when the vehicle is driving on slippery surfaces. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in both 17.5'' and 22.5'' rim diameter options.
