The Hercules L-201 is a commercial truck tire suitable for medium duty use that goes on all axle positions. Also, it has highway and mixed service applications.
Firstly, the zig zag grooves channel water or debris away from the Hercules L-201, reducing the risk of slipping or skidding. For commercial trucks that operate in diverse environments, this added grip ensures stability and safety, even in challenging weather. Then, the closed shoulders provide better stability and even wear. Closed shoulders also enhance handling by minimizing the Hercules L-201's tendency to flex during sharp turns, ensuring a steady and controlled ride. Adding to this, the strong sides help the model maintain its shape under pressure, which is critical for carrying large and unevenly distributed loads. Equally important, the strong sides are robust enough to handle the heavy loads that commercial trucks carry.
Secondly, the extra wide footprint provides better weight distribution, which reduces stress on the Hercules L-201 and leads to longer tread life. For commercial trucks, this means the tires wear out more slowly, saving money on replacements. Moreover, the all steel casing improves heat resistance, a critical factor for commercial tires that endure high friction and long hours on the road. By managing heat effectively, the tire reduces the risk of blowouts and extends its lifespan. And, the special tread design offers incredible traction when carrying up to 7,826 lbs per single tire. It also makes the driving experience more comfortable because it reduces vibrations. Finally, the available sizes on the US market come in 22.5'' rim diameter options.
