Ironman Gen2 I-28D
Meet the Ironman Gen2 I-28D, a workhorse commercial tire that delivers reliable traction, long tread life, and efficient rolling for extended highway miles. Its balanced tread provides stable contact and predictable handling across common long-haul conditions, and the reinforced casing stands up to heavy loads. Integrated stone-ejecting features help block stone drilling, protecting the casing and promoting retreadability. For fleets that want a cost-effective tire without sacrificing day-to-day reliability, the Gen2 I-28D blends performance and value.
Product Overview
The Ironman Gen2 I-28D is built for long-haul service where consistent traction, even wear, and uptime matter. A durable casing supports a stable, comfortable ride, while a focus on rolling efficiency helps manage fuel costs over the life of the tire. Stone-ejecting elements reduce casing damage, which can support multiple retreads when the tire is maintained correctly. It is a practical choice for operators who want dependable performance at a competitive price, centered on grip, longevity, and cost control.

- Durable casing: Built to carry heavy loads and resist irregular wear with proper alignment and rotation.
- Stone protection: Stone-ejecting features limit stone drilling, protecting the casing and improving retread prospects.
- Value-driven performance: Dependable grip, predictable handling, and long service life at a competitive price, helping fleets balance performance and budget.
Specifications & Construction
The Gen2 I-28D rides on a reinforced commercial casing engineered for longevity and retreadability. Key specs include overall diameter, section width, tread depth, load index or range, and speed rating, which vary by size. Its tread pattern creates a stable footprint for even wear and dependable highway traction, and stone-ejecting features help shield the belt package from drilling. Review the size-specific data sheet for exact measurements, capacities, and inflation, and match size and load range to your application for consistent performance and safety.
Fitment & Applications
Choose the Ironman Gen2 I-28D in the exact size and load range specified by your vehicle placard or fleet standard. Verify the OE spec before ordering, and consult a tire professional if you run mixed service or off-route miles. Maintain correct inflation, rotate on schedule, and check alignment to prevent irregular wear and preserve retreadability. For fleets standardizing across positions or routes, confirm that the tire's intended application matches your service mix and mileage goals.
Performance & Tread Life
On long highway runs, the Gen2 I-28D balances traction with low rolling resistance to help improve fuel efficiency. A stable tread footprint resists irregular wear when paired with proper inflation and rotation, extending usable tread depth. Expect confident wet and dry grip appropriate for a long-haul tire, while stone-ejecting features help preserve the casing for future retreads. The net result is consistent performance designed to reduce cost per mile.
