Hercules to Add Performance Line-Up

Hercules Tire International reports it is revamping is high performance line up to match the depth of its sport utility vehicle product lines. Hercules’ President, Joe Recchia, said, “our customers have spoken and we have listened. This year and next, we’ll be launching several new lines across all our main brands.”

The first line, the Hercules Raptis WR1 will be available later this year. The size range will, says Hercules, straddle “aficionado performance” and “touring performance” vehicle applications. The tyremaker is confidence that, with its sleek looks, rolling contour toroidal shape and bold asymmetric tread pattern, the Raptis WR1 will take its place among industry benchmark products in its category.

“The Raptis WR1 will cause a lot of heads to turn,” added Recchia. “It’s definitely a first for Hercules International. And, by the way, we’re always open to new opportunities for qualified distributors all over the world!”
