FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season traction
- High driving comfort levels
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Hercules RoadTour 455 is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hercules offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The tire offers excellent all season traction. This is achieved with the durable compound and detailed ribbed tread design, which work together to boost dry, wet, and winter grip. Year-round performance is guaranteed as the all season compound ensures that the tire is pliable in versatile temperatures. The sipe and notch placement provide the needed biting edges to boost the tire's surface traction. Circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning in the process.
The optimized variable pitch detail of the footprint significantly lowers the road noise levels. The tread negates sound waves by creating a special sound-canceling frequency. As a result, road and tread pattern noise cannot reach the vehicle's cabin and ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment. This guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
Better controllability is offered with this model. The ribbed tread design's consistent road contact allows the tire to boost its steering responsiveness and driving stability. This promotes excellent steering response and accuracy and it also secures the structural stability against the driving pressure. The shoulder block placement with the optimal sipe placement firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. This optimizes its cornering capability. The braking is shortened as the tread elements generate friction during braking.
The RoadTour 455 promotes a lengthened tread life. The ribbed tread design and stronger compound boost the tire's usability by optimizing the treadwear rate and manner. Irregular wear is avoided as the footprint evenly circulates the driving pressure. The durable compound decreases the treadwear rate as well. Slow and even wear significantly increase the tires' service life.
