Hercules Strong Guard ST 235/85R16 128/124N F 98498 (12 Ply)

Hercules Strong Guard ST. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; Improved load durability; Longer-lasting tread life; Year-round traction; . OVERVIEW: The Hercules Strong Guard ST is a highway terrain, all season tire made for trailers. This tire is NOT MEANT TO BE MOUNTED ON LIGHT TRUCKS, as its construction will not support the weight and performing style of such vehicles. It can ONLY BE MOUNTED ON TRAILERS.The tire offers great all season traction, optimizing its year-round performance. Better dry, wet, and light winter grip is offered with the detailed tread design and the all season compound. Stronger rubber materials keep the tire pliable throughout the year, optimizing its summer and winter performance. Additionally, the tread's sipes create biting edges, upgrading its road grip. Grooves combat hydroplaning in wet conditions. They channel water and slush from the footprint, increasing its wet grip.Extended service life is guaranteed with this model. The ideal tread design works with the durable compound to effectively provide slow and even wear. Footprint stability maintains surface contact and helps prevent tread flexing. As a result, the tire avoids irregular wear by preventing pressure accumulation along the tread area. On the other hand, strong compound elements offer wear resistance, decreasing the treadwear rate. The combination greatly boosts the tire's overall tread life length.The model manages to effectively increase its overall controllability. The flat ribbed footprint closely follows the road throughout the drive. This effectively improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. It results in quick and precise steering responses, as well as a secured structure. Cornering is upgraded with shoulder ribs that provide additional biting edges. On the other hand, the ribbed pattern generates biting edges in order to shorten the overall braking distance.Better structural durability is ensured with the tire's exceptional load capacity. The tire is capable of handling larger loads with ease. The construction of the tire maintains the optimal tire shape under such pressure, which helps the tire increase its load capacity. In other words, the tire is able to withstand load pressure, booting the overall load durability.Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
