Hercules Terra Trac AT II All-Terrain Tire
Hercules Terra Trac AT II balances on-road comfort with confident traction off the beaten path. Its all-terrain pattern uses multi-angled biting edges and dense siping to enhance wet and light-snow grip, while a durable, cut- and chip-resistant rubber blend helps resist trail wear. On the highway, a stable tread footprint supports straight-line tracking and predictable braking. Off-road, open voids clear loose material for added bite on dirt and gravel. If you want versatile capability without the noise and rolling resistance of a mud tire, the Terra Trac AT II hits a practical sweet spot.
Built for weekdays, weekends, and everything in between, the Hercules Terra Trac AT II balances everyday comfort with capable all-terrain traction. Multi-angled biting edges and dense siping boost grip in the wet and in light snow, while a cut- and chip-resistant compound stands up to gravel and work sites. On the highway it tracks straight and brakes predictably, keeping road noise in check. Headed off the pavement, open voids help clear loose material so the tread can keep biting without the bulk or roar of a mud tire.
Key features and specs
The Terra Trac AT II is tuned for year-round versatility. Staggered tread blocks and multiple biting edges enhance traction on wet pavement, packed snow, and light mud, and full-depth siping maintains grip as the tire wears. A cut- and chip-resistant rubber blend helps fend off damage from gravel and debris. A stable center section supports confident highway steering and braking, and open shoulders aid water evacuation and self-cleaning. Select sizes offer higher load capacities for towing and hauling, so you can match the tire to your workload.
On-road and off-road performance
On pavement, the Terra Trac AT II focuses on predictable handling, straight-line stability, and assured wet braking. The tread is arranged to keep pattern noise controlled for a relaxed drive. Off the blacktop, open blocks and voids bite into gravel, grass, and hard-packed dirt, while resisting stone retention. It handles light mud and slush with confidence, but for deep mud or technical rock crawling, a dedicated mud-terrain remains the better tool.
Terra Trac AT II vs other all-terrain tires
Within the A/T segment, the Terra Trac AT II prioritizes daily comfort and all-weather assurance over extreme off-road aggression. Compared with more aggressive patterns, it generally rides quieter and targets longer tread life, yet still delivers useful bite on dirt and gravel. If your routine includes heavy mud, sharp rock gardens, or frequent airing down, a mud-terrain or more aggressive A/T may suit you better. If you want a calmer, road-biased A/T that handles weekend trails, the Terra Trac AT II hits a smart balance and strong value.
Durability, tread life and warranty
The Terra Trac AT II carries a 55,000-mile treadwear warranty, signaling its focus on everyday longevity. It also includes Hercules road-hazard coverage, which provides free replacement for up to two years or the first 50% of tread life, whichever comes first. Real-world life depends on driving style, rotation intervals, alignment, and load. To stretch miles, rotate every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, set pressures to your door-jamb placard, and keep suspension components in good shape. The cut- and chip-resistant compound adds extra protection on gravel and construction routes.
Ride comfort, noise and efficiency
For an all-terrain, the Terra Trac AT II is tuned to stay composed and surprisingly quiet on the highway. Carefully sequenced tread blocks help limit harmonic hum, and a stable contact patch supports smooth tracking and confident braking. Rolling resistance is kept in check for this class, which helps preserve fuel economy compared with more aggressive off-road designs. Noise and feel can vary by size, vehicle, and inflation, so choose the correct load index and maintain proper pressures to keep the tire at its best.
Sizes and fitment guide
The Terra Trac AT II is offered in a broad range of sizes for popular trucks and crossovers. Common options include 265/70R17, 265/75R16, 275/70R18, and 285/70R17, among others. Always verify size, load index, and speed rating against your door-jamb placard or owner manual, especially if you tow or haul. If changing size, account for overall diameter, wheel width and offset, and potential clearance at the fenders, suspension, and mud flaps. Not sure what fits? Share your current size and driving mix for a tailored recommendation.
