In a major development for the trucking industry, Ironman Tires has expanded its I-Series Gen 2 truck tire lineup with the introduction of four new, enhanced tires. The new releases are part of a comprehensive upgrade to the I-Series Gen 2, featuring cost-effective, cutting-edge tires designed to meet the evolving needs of modern trucking.
The company has increased its confidence in the performance of the I-Series Gen 2 by extending its Peace of Mind Warranty from five to six years. This extended coverage protects against defects in workmanship and materials, and also includes a casing allowance for two retreads, ensuring drivers can rely on the tires for consistent performance and durability.
Marshall Gillespie, Ironman Tires’ Director of Proprietary Brand Commercial Merchandising, expressed that the new I-Series Gen 2 truck tires were designed to enhance customer satisfaction while reducing the likelihood of returns. He emphasized that the product launch was the result of extensive research and development efforts aimed at delivering reliability and value. Gillespie noted that the company is proud to offer a line of tires that customers trust to meet a variety of demands in the trucking industry.
Joining the already successful I-19A, I-37D, I-48T, and I-61S models introduced in August 2023, the four new additions include:
- I-28D: A regional/long-haul drive tire designed for fleet and owner-operator demands. Featuring advanced compounds for fuel efficiency, a deeper 28/32nds tread depth for better traction, and a closed shoulder design to enhance stability.
- I-31M: A versatile, all-position tire ideal for both on- and off-highway use. It includes features like a 22/32nds tread depth, stone ejectors to protect against damage, and a jagged shoulder for improved heat management and traction.
- I-42W: A wide-base all-position tire for heavy loads, designed to excel in mixed-service applications. It boasts enhanced durability and resistance to cuts, alongside optimal tread patterns for off-road performance.
- I-52A: A steer/all-position tire built to endure high-scrub regional routes, providing increased fuel efficiency and even wear with a 22/32nds tread depth and wavy grooves for added resistance to damage.
Gillespie also highlighted that Ironman’s commitment to offering reliable and affordable tires continues with this new range, designed to deliver exceptional performance without overburdening customers financially.
For over a decade, Ironman Tires has earned the trust of truck stops, independent dealers, fleets, and owner-operators by providing high-quality products with nationwide availability. The second generation of the I-Series continues this tradition by introducing modern technology and advanced tread designs to meet the needs of the ever-changing trucking landscape.
