Features and Benefits

Commercial Tires as the name suggests are designed for use on commercial vehicles. As these vehicles generally run on paved roads, commercial tires offer improved traction and regular treadwear for a longer tread life. Also as commercial vehicles are used to haul heavy loads, commercial tires are designed to be durable and can withstand heavy loads.

The Ironman I-181 is a commercial tire designed for all positions. As an all-position tire, it can be used on steer, drive axle, or trailer axle position and is optimized for steering, handling, driving performance, and driver comfort. Let’s take a look at some of the features and benefits of the tire.

• Improved traction: The five-rib tread pattern helps improve grip on dry and wet surfaces
• Optimized treadwear: Microscopes within the tire help fight off irregular treadwear for a longer service life
