Hercules' 70 years of tire expertise have brought the TIS UT1 on the market, which is a premium all terrain model designed for UTVs and ATVs. This tire follows the NHS (Not for Highway Service) design standard and shouldn't be used on vehicles other than ATVs/UTVs.
Primarily, the Hercules TIS UT1 comes with an aggressive tread pattern that ensures the best off road performance. The center blocks create lots of biting edges with the surface, smoothly propelling the vehicle forward through any obstacle. Also, this aspect provides crisp handling at high speeds, giving you full control at all times. Moving on, the wide footprint evenly spreads load pressure across the surface, thus maximizing surface contact and flotation. This is important as it prevents sinking into loose mud or sand. Aside from that, the innovative tread design allows for maximum performance in a wide range of terrain conditions, such as silt, rocks, gravel, dirt, and more.
Equally important, the balanced void ratio of the Hercules TIS UT1 enhances the self cleaning ability without giving up traction. The large grooves expel ground parts from the patch, effectively preventing clogging or slippage. In addition, the large shoulder blocks add extra lateral grip, helping you take sharp turns with ease. The reinforced upper sidewall area increases side traction, getting you out of muddy situations. What's more, the rigid sidewalls not only protect the rim from damage but also increase stability and integrity. Lastly, this model is accessible on the US market in a wide range of sizes with rim diameters between 12" and 15".
