FINDLAY, OHIO, February 20, 2015 – The Hercules H-704 EcoFT™ premium long haul closed shoulder deep drive tire and the Hercules H-902 EcoFT highway all-position tire recently received EPA SmartWay verification for low rolling resistance.
“Our goal is always to heighten the opportunity for sales and profitability for our customers. Having a robust offering of SmartWay verified tires is one key way that we can do that, so we’re pleased to have the H-704 EcoFT and H-902 EcoFT included in the EPA's SmartWay program," said Pat Tripp, director of TBR product and purchasing for Hercules Tire.
Introduced at the 2014 SEMA Show in Las Vegas (as the Hercules H-704), the heavy-duty H-704 EcoFT tire is available in 14- and 16-ply sizes and features a 30/32 inch tread and a solid shoulder to resist irregular wear.
