Ironman tires

Ironman Tires was founded in 1952 as a subsidiary of the Hercules Tire and Rubber Company. Hercules' current headquarters are located in Findlay, Ohio. Despite the fact that Ironman does not have the same industry reputation or technological innovation as larger manufacturers, the company nonetheless produces affordable tires for everyday driving.

Ironman manufactures passenger, SUV, winter, and light truck tires, albeit it has a smaller selection than other manufacturers. At this moment, Ironman does not offer original equipment (OE) tires for any manufacturer.

The low cost of Ironman tires is a huge draw. Ironman tires are less expensive than Michelin or Goodyear tires. Depending on the size and model, some Ironman tires cost less than $50. Ironman tires, on the other hand, will not last as long or function as well as other low-cost tires, such as Cooper tires.

Most Popular Ironman Tires

The most popular Ironman tires are a few basic all-season and all-terrain types. They are best suited for drivers seeking a simple, low-cost tire that does not place a high value on performance or specialization. In a nutshell, they get the job done.

Here are some of the most popular Ironman tires:

Ironman RB-12

A low-cost all-season tire designed for even wear and high traction on wet conditions. In Ironman's lineup, the RB-12 NWS replaced the legendary Touring Pro. Hercules claims that it outperforms its predecessor in terms of riding comfort, wet traction, and performance. It is also stated that the RB 12 has less road noise and better handling.

Does the road performance of this tire support these claims? For the most part, it does. This tire's contact area with the road has been greatly increased thanks to a computer-optimized tread design. As you may expect, this results in improved handling stability and traction at high speeds.

Wet traction is also superior. The broad shoulder blocks of the tread pattern have several biting edges to ensure controllability in wet conditions. They improve the tire's capacity to grip the road, preventing it from spinning out of control when the going gets tough.

The greater life also includes treading life. Part of the credit belongs to the symmetric five-rib design, which uniformly distributes braking, accelerating, and cornering forces over the surface. This reduces heat buildup in the tread, preventing uneven tread wear.

You'd also get a peaceful and comfy journey. This tire's variable pitch tread block design produces a sound frequency that is equal to but opposite to road noise. As a result, when the tire moves, the opposing sounds cancel each other out, providing a noise-free ride.

Ironman All Country A/T

An all-terrain tire featuring large tread blocks, a buttress tread design for better traction, and mild sipes.

The All Country A/T excels on several fronts, allowing the vehicle it transports to overcome them all. The tread of the All Country A/T includes wide angled lateral grooves and a void ratio designed to improve mud, water, and snow evacuation, providing all-surface grip when and where it's required most.

The Ironman All Country AT performs admirably on hard packed terrain. Its tough rubber composition grips the pavement surprisingly effectively, and robust shoulder blocks provide the stability your vehicle needs to stay on track in difficult terrain.

Several longitudinal and circumferential grooves prevent water from accumulating inside the tread area, lowering the risk of hydroplaning. This allows the All Country AT to retain continual contact with the road, which improves its traction in wet weather.

Another feature that this tire excels at is self-cleaning. The spacing between the grooves is large enough to prevent any stone or rock particles from becoming lodged inside the tread region. This evacuation also removes mud and slush particles, which improves the traction of this tire.

The only complaint we have about this tire is its lack of snow and ice traction. Its tread compound is too stiff to securely transport you from point A to point B across packed snow and ice. Aside from that, the lack of a treadwear warranty is another major flaw.

All of this means that the All Country AT performs admirably in both dry and mildly wet conditions. It provides a pleasant ride, prevents hydroplaning, and may be used in mud and over larger rocks.

Ironman GR-906

The Ironman GR-906 is an all-season touring tire with a low price tag. It dispels the misconception that high-quality, year-round performance requires a large investment. As a result, this tire provides an alternative to people who are concerned about the escalating prices of premium tires.

This tire thrives in both dry and rainy situations owing to an all-season touring compound. The tread compound reduces rolling resistance to save fuel consumption. At the same time, the tire's rigidity allows it to absorb road vibrations, resulting in a comfortable ride.

Traction in the rain and snow is also above average. Multiple high-density sipes around the tread area help you keep control of this tire in slick conditions. They accomplish this by grabbing onto the road surface and preventing this tire from slipping at speeds where most budget tires struggle.

You will have no complaints about tread life. A new symmetric tread design promotes even wear and extends the life of this tire beyond its 60-month limited protection guarantee. The tread pattern also assures stable handling, so there will be no nervous moments behind the wheel.

Ironman iMove Gen2 A/S

Traction in the rain and snow is also above average. Multiple high-density sipes around the tread area help you keep control of this tire in slick conditions. They accomplish this by grabbing onto the road surface and preventing this tire from slipping at speeds where most budget tires struggle.

You will have no complaints about tread life. A new symmetric tread design promotes even wear and extends the life of this tire beyond its 60-month limited protection guarantee. The tread pattern also assures stable handling, so there will be no nervous moments behind the wheel.

Following that is steering responsiveness. Most low-cost tires take a few moments to respond to steering input. The iMove Gen2 AS could not be more dissimilar. It turns into the corners within seconds of getting a steering command, with no lag in between.

This tire is also quite quiet. Which is something we'd expect from performance tires, which typically justify their exorbitant prices by remaining silent at high speeds. However, keeping a budget tire like the Gen2 AS quiet at highway speeds is quite an accomplishment.

Ironman RB SUV

Ironman introduced the RB-SUV tire in 2014, promising owners of SUVs, CUVs, and pickups a comfortable ride and increased mileage. The customer response over the next eight years suggests that these arguments have some validity.

This tire's symmetric tread pattern allows it to provide year-round traction. This tire's handling in wet weather is improved by moderate siping detail along the tread's edges. They also improve the overall traction of this tire in dry, rainy, and icy conditions.

Wide circumferential and lateral grooves reduce the possibility of hydroplaning. They remove water from beneath this tire's footprint, ensuring steady road contact at all times. This tire's all-season traction helps to ensure year-round driving safety.

Braking distances are reduced in both dry and wet circumstances due to the increased biting edges around the tread region. As a result, you can drive safely all year round.

Wet and light snow traction is guaranteed with the M+S rating. This rating is only given to tires that have met the rater's traction and grip standards in similar situations. It's incredible that a low-cost tire like the RB SUV has this grade.

 

Ironman RB-LT

Who says a company could only produce X number of affordable all-season tires? The RB-LT is proof that Ironman’s lineup of value-priced all-season tires is fully stacked.

The RB-LT is capable of delivering year-round performance. This tire's grip and traction on dry terrain are improved by a flexible rubber compound and distinctive tread design. A robust center rib, together with inner steel belts, provides the stability required for safe high-speed driving.

Wide grooves in the tread area improve hydroplaning resistance. They also improve this tire's traction on slick surfaces. Furthermore, the presence of sipes around the tread area should instill trust in this tire's capacity to handle wet surfaces.


One area where this tire excels is high-speed performance. For a low-cost tire, acceleration and cornering are adequate. And, unlike many Ironman tires, the grip and traction will allow you to drive the RB-LT to its maximum.

Conclusion

Ironman tires are an excellent choice for automobile owners seeking for a straightforward, no-fuss model at a reasonable price. Customers like the company's all-season and all-terrain tires, which are more reputable than other low-cost tires on the market.
