Hercules tires are all about strength and reliability. For instance, the Hercules Strong Guard C-ST is a durable all steel commercial tire designed for special trailer applications. It features a smart tread design and a robust build to maximize longevity and load capacity without giving up traction.
Primarily, the Hercules Strong Guard C-ST features a five rib tread pattern that maximizes surface contact and stability. The main three ribs improve the steering accuracy, making sure that the trailer follows the towing vehicle with high precision. In addition, the closed shoulder ribs promote even wear across the tread, leading to better mileage and longer tread life. They also upgrade the cornering ability, helping you drive through curvy roads with confidence. The tire's rational siping distribution adds extra biting edges that enhance braking performance and overall grip. In addition, they combat heat buildup by allowing heat to evacuate through the voids.
What's more, the dual groove design of the Hercules Strong Guard C-ST combines linear grooves and staggered ones. The straight channels throw away water from the footprint, thus reducing the risk of aquaplaning and boosting responsiveness on wet roads. On the other hand, the inner staggered grooves upgrade the handling performance and traction of the tire. Special stone ejector platforms combined with the Curb Guard technology protect the casing from various impacts and ground elements. Besides, the robust sidewalls raise the maximum load capacity, allowing a single tire to carry up to 4,400 lbs, depending on size. Its new rubber compound lowers the rolling resistance, leading to less fuel usage and higher efficiency. At last, this model is available on the US market in popular sizes such as ST235/80R16, ST225/75R15, and more.
