about the Hercules Tires Avalanche RT

Engineered for passenger cars, crossovers, SUVs, and light trucks navigating severe cold-weather climates, this versatile studdable winter tire serves as the flagship standard touring model in Hercules' Avalanche winter lineup.

Certified with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) rating, it offers high value, dependable cold-weather traction, and predictable winter highway handling backed by the Hercules Performance Promise.
