Hercules Terra Trac R/S
Meet the Hercules Terra Trac R/S, an all-season highway tire built for smooth, confident miles. The symmetric tread encourages even wear and steady road manners, while plentiful siping and circumferential grooves clear water to maintain wet grip. A comfort-tuned pitch pattern helps keep cabin noise low. With a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty and Road Hazard protection, the Terra Trac R/S delivers everyday reliability, comfort, and value.
Key Features
A silica-blend all-season compound stays flexible across temperatures, which helps braking and cornering in wet and cool weather. The symmetric tread layout with a solid center rib improves straight-line stability and steering feel. Wide circumferential channels and lateral grooves move water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning. Dense siping adds extra biting edges for damp roads and light snow, and reinforced shoulders support even wear over long highway miles.
On-Road Performance
On dry pavement, the Terra Trac R/S feels composed and predictable thanks to its continuous center rib and balanced tread blocks. In the rain, open channels and siping evacuate water quickly to support confident braking and lane changes. For light winter use, the added biting edges help on slush or a light covering of snow, but when conditions turn severe or icy, a dedicated winter tire is the safer choice. Day to day, the R/S emphasizes stability, quietness, and easy control for commuting and highway travel.
Sizes & Fitment Guidance
Start with the OE size on your vehicle's door-jamb placard or in the owner's manual, then match or exceed the original load index and speed rating. If you're changing wheel diameter or plus-sizing, verify overall diameter and clearance around brakes, suspension, and fenders. For staggered fitments, replace tires in axle pairs to maintain handling balance. When in doubt, share your VIN or OE size, for example 225/65R17, with a tire professional.
Tread Life, Warranty & Protection
The Terra Trac R/S is built for longevity and backed by solid coverage. It carries up to a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty when maintained with regular rotations, proper inflation, and correct alignment. Hercules Road Hazard Protection provides free replacement for up to two years or the first 50% of tread life, whichever comes first, on eligible damage. Driving style, climate, and vehicle setup affect mileage, so keep rotation and inspection records to maximize life and streamline any claim.
Price & How to Buy
Pricing varies by size, load range, and speed rating, and it delivers strong value against similar all-season highway options. You may also see occasional rebates or bundled installation offers. For a smooth experience, add professional mounting, new valve stems, TPMS service as needed, and set a rotation plan. We recommend a re-torque after 500 to 750 miles on vehicles with lug nuts. Select your vehicle or tire size, choose an installer at checkout, and schedule an appointment so the tires ship directly to the shop.
Hercules Terra Trac R/S vs Alternatives
Within highway all-season choices, the Terra Trac R/S prioritizes everyday stability, wet-weather assurance, and strong value, with added peace of mind from Road Hazard coverage. Premium touring tires may offer a touch more refinement, while aggressive all-terrains bring extra off-road bite with more noise and rolling resistance. If you often face deep snow or prolonged freezing, a dedicated winter tire is still the safer call. For most daily driving, the R/S strikes a smart balance of comfort, traction, and warranty-backed longevity.
