The Hercules HSI-L is a touring tire designed for winter weather. It also fits on passenger vehicles and delivers amazing overall performance. Its many features all work together to ensure that your driving experience is safe in winter.
Firstly, the open shoulders are especially helpful when driving in thick snow, as they improve the tire’s ability to bite into the surface and provide better traction. They also deliver better control when braking or accelerating. Moving on, the deep grooves direct water, snow, and ice away from the contact area where the Hercules HSI-L meets the road. By doing this, they reduce the chance of slipping or hydroplaning. Adding to this, the sipes provide extra edges for gripping icy or snowy roads. When you turn, the sipes flex and grab onto the road surface, giving you more stability. They also help improve traction when roads are packed with ice or snow because they create friction, which keeps the Hercules HSI-L from sliding.
Secondly, the modern tread pattern ensures the model can handle different winter conditions without losing performance. It delivers increased traction in tricky conditions. Equally important, the resistant rubber compound stays soft even in freezing temperatures, so the Hercules HSI-L can maintain good contact with the road. This flexibility is what makes winter tires grip icy or snowy surfaces much better than regular tires. And, the durables sidewalls ensure the model can hold its shape, even when it’s under heavy pressure or carrying a lot of weight. Lastly, the Hercules HSI-L goes very well with the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, and Ford Focus. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in a 16'' rim diameter option.
